Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the organizational resilience of recent partnerships that bring together public and non-governmental stakeholders around local food governance. To examine the organizational resilience of these partnerships, we conducted a qualitative case study on the Lyon Sustainable Food Council, in Lyon, France. The findings revealed the strengths and weaknesses of this organization in terms of resilience: it shows a high capacity to absorb shocks, a moderate capacity for renewing and a relatively low capacity for learning. Results that can shed light more broadly on the governance of public sector and social economy partnerships (PSEPs). We found that the partnership has an innovative approach to food justice and appears to avoid market isomorphism, but there is a risk for the balance of stakeholders.
