      abstract = {Agrifood scholarship often critiques the influence of  large transnational corporations on sustainable food  systems, yet overlooks smaller private actors that  self-identify as “sustainable.” This study examines how  scholars and companies frame sustainability within retail  and food service sectors. Using discourse analysis, I  analyze scholarly perceptions of supermarkets and service  firms, focusing on Whole Foods Market (WFM) and Bon Appétit  Management Company (BAMCO). Findings reveal: (1) scholars  recognize growing power among private actors, including  retailers; (2) supermarkets increasingly shape production  and consumption, influencing system transformation; and (3)  WFM and BAMCO engage in practices aligned with scholarly  sustainability goals. The study highlights the need for  further research on the role of “sustainable” companies in  advancing socially just and environmentally sound food  systems.},
