Agricultural systems around the world face the major challenge of the transition toward greater resilience. Given this, there is a need for understanding the processes undermining the resilience of agricultural systems, as social-ecological systems, i.e., driving their capacity to evolve, adapt, or transform to cope with new constraints and opportunities. Social relational networks involving a diversity of stakeholders play a key role in these processes as they drive the circulation of material and non-physical resources in agrarian societies, but their role in the resilience of agricultural systems remains understudied. Hence, there is work to be done to highlight aspects on this topic and identify the conceptual and methodological challenges to be tackled, as expanding this research is expected to bring significant advances for supporting the transition of agricultural systems toward greater resilience. Recent theoretical and methodological advances at the nexus of social-ecological systems and networks help position this area of research for new and exciting breakthroughs. This special issue will feature diverse contributions to understanding the role of social networks in the resilience of agricultural systems, which covers their capacity to evolve, innovate, adapt, and transform.
