Non-state, market-driven forms of governance, especially those that use multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs), have become a prominent mechanism for regulating food and agriculture.

This article addresses this research gap using a case study of the Leonardo Academy’s sustainable agriculture standard initiative.
