The notion of resilience has been applied to food systems for some years now - as in other fields before it - and 'food resilience' has become, with the Covid-19 crisis, a buzzword circulating across scientific communities, international institutions, public policies, and a diversity of movements involved in collective action in France. With this growing diversity of uses, the meaning given to the notion of resilience has evolved and the very notion has been transformed. In this context, we propose, based on a trajectory of its uses, which crosses various disciplines, institutions and networks, to show how different versions of food resilience have emerged, which highlight different key concepts, scales and objects.. Several debates carried out with researchers and actors involved in agrifood transitions issues lead us to highlight the inevitable contradictions, confusions and ambiguities linked to some of these variations, as well as the related processes of invisibilisation. Putting the security and relocation of food supplies at the forefront goes hand in hand with making the issue of ecologisation, particularly agricultural practices, invisible. Similarly, not explicitly addressing the question of resilience, not only of what and against what, but also for whom, leads to make also the question of power relations in agri-food systems at different scales invisible. Finally, we will discuss the capacity of the notion of resilience to shed light on the current challenges of the transition process for agri-food systems.
