▼ As food systems expand in scale and scope, the sources of their negative externalities are less effectively identified. Globally, this diffusion has resulted in a plethora of paradoxes, as well as a decrease in overall food system resilience to socio-economic and ecological drivers of uncertainty. Relocalizing food production is a potential strategy to address the challenges of conventional food systems. However, relocalization is an umbrella term, with two distinct food production trajectories. One vision for local food system development seeks to holistically integrate human agency with natural agro-ecosystem processes. For example, some activists, scholars and policy makers discuss community-managed organic gardens or agro-ecological farms as critical components of sustainable and just urban food systems. Conversely, several engineers and researchers are seeking to (semi)-separate agricultural activity from an increasingly capricious biosphere, through the development of capital-intensive vertical farming and meat-synthesis technologies. As proponents of both trajectories attempt to construct more localized foodsheds, it is important to consider their potential opportunities, as well as their underlying values and practices, in hopes of enacting broad food system change.
The paradigmatic and practical differences between conventional and alternative food systems have been well-elucidated within geographic literature; however, a growing body of scholarship is adopting a more nuanced approach to discuss the multiplicity of alternative agriculture developments. This thesis contributes to this body of literature, through: (1) comparing the outlooks of two distinct local food trajectories for attaining resilient, just food systems; and (2) assessing their underlying values and paradigms. To accomplish this, a thorough review of the literature on local food systems was carried out, in addition to an analysis of twenty-six interviews with stakeholders involved in local food production projects in China as well as Canada. A further twelve publicly-available interviews were selected for analysis. Interviewees included farm managers, researchers, urban planners, urban designers, and community food program managers.
The results of this study suggest that the two local food production trajectories have conflicting outlooks for realizing food system justice and resilience. Capital-intensive approaches to local food production have huge productive potential and capacity for resilience-building, through disrupting and optimizing energy-capture processes in agricultural systems, while liberating vast tracts of agricultural land. However, several scholars critique current operations for perpetuating the central tenets of conventional food production, including: commodification, global commodity trade, and the further dis-embedding of consumer relationships with producers and nature. In contrast, more ‘traditional’ approaches to local food production often strengthen community relations and offer opportunity for traditional…

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore current perceptions and attitudes of local food producers and hospital staff towards incorporating locally-sourced foods into hospital food service programs. Perceived opportunities and challenges to procuring and using local products in the hospital setting were identified. Additionally, perceived enablers and barriers of local producers were identified around working directly with institutions. The goal of this study was to integrate perceptions of producers and hospital staff to develop locally relevant suggestions for strengthening producer-hospital relationships and increase the amounts of local foods in hospital food service programs.
Qualitative data was collected by conducting interviews with hospital staff involved with food procurement and management, as well as with local producers and food distributors. Demographic data was also collected from participants.
Findings resulted in the identification of opportunities and challenges associated with direct working relationships between local food producers and hospitals and the increase of locally-sourced foods in food services. Barriers included price, product availability and quantity while opportunities included positive relationships, product quality, and champion leaders. The integration of results allowed for the development of capacity building suggestions. Such suggestions included the development of aggregated food systems, hospital staff wellness programs and collaborative problem solving processes. Most significantly, this study suggested that efforts to connect producers and hospitals in collaborative dialogue to identify and resolve misconceptions and misinformation may serve to most successfully strengthen Montana’s farm-to-institution system and increase the amounts of locally-sourced foods being used in hospital food service programs.

▼ The global system of
food production is currently facing a confluence of pressures, and without change, our ability to achieve environmental sustainability and ensure future
food security for all will be severely undermined. One option that has been endorsed in recent years is
local food, which is seen as a fairer, healthier and more efficient alternative that can bring benefits to society, the economy and the environment. Influencing consumer demand and encouraging sustainable consumption is no easy task, and this dissertation aims to explore the difficulties in and opportunities for dietary change. In the summer of 2012 a study was conducted involving a sample of 12 Edinburgh residents who attempted to live on a diet based exclusively on locally produced
food for two weeks. The participants were asked to record details of the
food they purchased, what they cooked and ate, while keeping a diary to reflect upon the experience. The findings that emerged suggested a fundamental change in environmental attitudes and perceptions of
local food. Participants also revealed insightful evidence of common external variables which prevented behavioural intentions being converted into action.

▼ As the modern-day
food system becomes increasingly industrialized on a global scale, the negative consequences for both human health and the environment are accelerating. Advocates for
local production and distribution, leading to healthier consumption patterns, are increasingly vocal as the benefits of more sustainable
food systems are acknowledged. Large public and private organizations, including
local governments, NGOs, and educational systems are at the forefront of this sustainable
food trend. In the US, the number of universities implementing sustainable
food programs is growing rapidly, creating a new
food services concept known as the “farm-to-college” movement. In Scotland, sustainable dining programs in large institutions are beginning to emerge. The University of Edinburgh will be the first university in Scotland to implement the
Food for Life program as it hopes to achieve the Soil Association’s Bronze Catering Mark, a program with many features mirroring US farm-to-college schemes.
In an attempt to better inform future dining programs that launch
local, sustainable initiatives, such as the University of Edinburgh, this study examines a number of U.S. universities farm-to-college programs. The research evaluates the following for each program: motivations, goals, common barriers, best practice strategies, and evaluation and education programs. In-depth semi-structured interviews were held with leaders experienced in all phases of designing and implementing a diverse set of US universities.

▼ Micronutrient malnutrition has been identified to be a public health problem affecting a wide range of the population in the world. Almost all African countries have been affected by it. Zambia has equally not been spared. In Zambia efforts have been made to fortify various foods. Despite these efforts the micronutrient deficiency diseases are still prevalent.
This research’s main focus is to evaluate the programme of food fortification in Zambia from an ethical point of view, hence the title: “An Ethical Assessment of Food Fortification in Zambia.” The specific objectives were: to explain the debate about food fortification; to describe the current situation of food fortification in Zambia; to give an ethical evaluation of the current situation of food fortification in Zambia; and to recommend improvements of food fortification in Zambia.
Primary data in this research were collected using semi-structured interviews. Purposively chosen officials from various departments of the government and other organizations that play a role in the programme of food fortification were interviewed. Selected consumers were also interviewed especially those from Kasempa. These included a chief, a headman and some of their subjects. Secondary data were collected from books, journals and the internet.
It has been concluded that there is need to give fair opportunities to all the people to access fortified food so that the micronutrient deficiency diseases can be mitigated if not completely eradicated. The price of most of the fortified foods is quite high especially that of sugar and of other foods fortified outside Zambia. Mainly, it is the rich and those in urban areas who have easy access to it. There is also need to closely monitor and evaluate the programme of fortification especially that of fortifying the local salt mined at Kaimbwe in Kasempa district. Currently, fortification of the local salt has halted. This has put the majority local people at risk.
Different ethical principles were used to assess the data. They include the principles of distributive justice, Rawls’s Theory of Justice, the Utility Principle and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Justice requires that an individual be given what is his or her due. All individuals should be given equal opportunities if they are to access fortified food. In the Zambian situation the poor should be specially treated by giving them fair opportunities to access fortified food, for instance by subsidising the food, so that they will have adequate micronutrients to improve their health, and their wellbeing. This would be a morally right policy according to utilitarianism. The people in influential positions must make rules and policies pertaining to fortified food impartially and rationally, as Rawls puts it, if the programme is to be a just one. People, especially the leaders, should realise that having access to fortified food is a human right as implicitly declared by the UN in article 25 of the Universal Declaration of 1948, hence the need to…

▼ Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the economic
development of nations. In Ghana SMEs are the key providers of employment and income, and
the drivers of innovation and growth in the economy. Observing from statistics available
however, it is very disturbing to note that the failure rate of SME businesses is quite high, while
surviving SMEs are not able to sufficiently expand to provide the needed employment
necessary to stimulate economic growth. Against this background, the study was undertaken
to investigate the issues militating against the growth of SMEs particularly in the Local Food
and bakery industry in Ghana and to recommend effective strategies to harness the growth of
SMEs and their contribution to economic growth. In undertaking the research, questionnaire
was administered to 120 owners and operators of local food services (chop bars) and bakeries
in and around the following major towns; Accra central, Osu, Circle, Abeka lapaz, Medina,
Kaneshie, Odorkor, Awoshie and Achimota, all densely populated suburbs in the Greater Accra
Region of Ghana. Random sampling technique was used in selecting the businesses in view of
the unavailability of an official register of SMEs involved in chop bar and bakery businesses.
From the research, it was found that the industry is female dominated. Female entrepreneurs
constitute 72% of the owners and operators of the businesses. Also profitability in the industry
is very good, 54% of the business are making profits. However, a number of factors have been
identified as hampering the growth and survival of firms in the industry. These include; low
managerial skills and training, weak succession and strategic planning, poor book keeping,
limited access to finance, high utility charges, harassment from officials from state regulatory
agencies and low level of business with government, the highest spender in the economy.
Recommendations to improve the industry have been grouped under three main headings;
improving the capacities of the SMEs, improving access to finance and improving government
support to the SMEs.

▼ This is a 30-minute radio documentary on one family’s experience eating all locally grown food, for two weeks in September of 2012, and two weeks during January 2013. For the project we considered locally grown food as food grown and processed in Montana. If the food was grown here, then left to be processed in another state, it did not count as local. The participants were a family of three from Missoula, Montana—a Mom, Dad, and their 2-year-old son. The point of the project was to answer the question: What is it like for a family, who normally does not pay attention to the sources of their food, to eat all locally grown food. I found that it takes much more time for a family to eat locally, because nothing is pre-packaged, or pre-processed. The family had to spend a lot of time cooking, and preparing meals for the week. Food was also more expensive, but they ended up saving money because they could not go out to eat as often. They family also said, the project took a toll on their social life, because most restaurants do not cater to local food eaters, and neither did their social circle. In the end, however, the family learned a lot about food, health, and the impacts of their diets on the environment. They say they will not continue to eat 100 percent locally, but will be much more conscientious consumers.

▼ The urban farming,
local food movement, which started as a trend, has sharply increased since the recession in 2008. Financial, nutritional and community-based benefits accompany this movement along with a sense of control over one's own
food. Texas has the potential to be the country's model state when looking at this new way of life and
food consumption.
Local food production is much more sustainable than the current
food system the U.S. has in place and it is the direction the U.S. is moving.

▼ The author employs a life story interview approach to
examine how one farmer, participating in a local food system,
constructs an identity as a food producer that reflects their
practices, beliefs, and values. Farmers' markets have grown
significantly in the past twenty years. Interest in these local
food systems has shifted from the original counter-culture, back to
the earth movement of the 1960's-80's to focus on issues of safe,
healthy, and tasty food produced using natural methods that
emphasize economic and environmental sustainability. Embedded in
these issues are the social relationships that shape peoples
identities. One person's particular story contributes to the
understanding of the motivations and meanings involved in the
various roles of individuals participating in farmers' markets.
Findings from this study support the argument that people,
including the food producer, and the production process are vital
components that create a taste experience within a local food
system.

▼ The local food movement has been offered as an alternative to the conventional food system. This thesis identifies the barriers that are constraining the local food movement using the case study of Ontario, Canada, by performing qualitative analysis of informal interview responses. In addition to generating a comprehensive account of the barriers constraining local food, barriers to local food procurement in the institutional context are also identified. Findings suggest that the barriers to the local food movement can be related to a lack of access, lack of resources, poor governance structures, poor information sharing and uncooperative relationships between local food actors. I argue that these barriers are reflective of the broader challenges associated with attempting to create food systems change from within the dominant system. Daunting as they may be, they can be overcome in an incremental, pragmatic way. Nineteen recommendations are made to this end.

▼ Alternative food networks in North America have been critiqued for promoting exclusionary narratives and upholding patterns of inequality. This thesis examines the dominant media narratives surrounding local food, farming and racialized immigrants in Ontario and then presents counterstories of immigrants growing in the Greater Toronto Area to explore their experiences. The media discourse analysis of 224 Toronto Star articles reveals dominant narratives that promote a multicultural, immigrant agricultural national identity and position farming as a way for new immigrants to assimilate into Canadian society. The semi-structured interviews of immigrants growing in the GTA (n=12) show that urban farm spaces play an important role in cultivating belonging, that racialized immigrants do encounter discrimination within the food and farming community, and that participants see local food as a way of challenging a flawed food system. This research shows a distinction between media narratives of local food and farming and immigrant experiences.

▼ This paper seeks to answer the following question: how can municipalities manage and regulate markets in a manner that facilitates access to
food and contributes to the enhancement of
food security? In attempting to answer this question, the paper will also address the following questions: what does the term '
food security' mean? What does 'access to
food' mean? What does the 'right to
food' mean? What are the powers and functions of
local government? What are the limits, problems or risks attached to the exercise of these powers? What constitutes 'markets' or 'fresh produce markets' in this case? What is the scope of
local government's legislative and executive competence regarding
food 'markets', as enumerated in Part B of Schedule 5 of the Constitution? And, how can municipalities utilise
food markets as a means to facilitate access to
food and address the issue of
food security? This paper will focus primarily on fresh produce markets, as opposed to other markets or 'markets' in their entirety. This limitation is based on the argument that fresh produce markets are more relevant for the role of
local government in facilitating access to
food because they provide a platform for the sale and purchase of fresh produce, which is important for nutritional purposes. The argument presented in this thesis centres around the facilitation of access to
food, by
local government, through the regulation and management of markets. The paper will address the problem by examining the concepts of '
food security' and 'access to
food' in the South African context, as well as in the international context. In examining the above concepts, the paper will also include the right to
food. The paper will further look at how South Africa has responded to the issue of
food security through its national
food security policies. The paper will look at how
local food markets are utilised internationally to facilitate access to
food and thereafter, examine how
food markets should be utilised to facilitate access to
food in South Africa. Thereafter, an examination of the powers and functions of
local government as entrenched in the Constitution will be provided, as well as the implications of such powers, the limitations and the problems attached to the exercise of
local government powers. Lastly, the paper looks at
local government's competence regarding
food 'markets' in Schedule 5B of the Constitution, as well as the other competencies related to
food/food security. Although
local government has the scope to address the issue of
food security by exercising its legislative and executive authority over the competence ‘markets’ as per Schedule 5B of the Constitution, this study does not focus solely on the management and regulation of 'markets'. The study extends and includes related competencies such as trade regulations, the licensing and control of undertakings that sell
food to the public, municipal abattoirs, street trading and municipal health service, and shows how the links between these competencies provide
local government with the…

▼ This research used
local produce as a way to investigate the construction and meaning of the
local food environment by
food retailers and consumers in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The research consisted of three components. First, the observed
local food environment was defined through store surveys that were conducted in 193
food retail outlets and farmers markets in the Albuquerque study area. These surveys were performed in order to collect information, through signage and other advertising materials, about how retailers defined '
local' produce. The subsequent qualitative text analysis on these materials allowed for several themes to emerge that characterized the observed
local food environment. Spatial themes included natural, political, radial and conceptual boundaries, while embedded value themes included environmental, social, economic, cultural and quality values. Second, these resulting themes were combined into a Likert scale questionnaire that collected attitudes from consumers about
local food in order to understand how the
local food environment was perceived. Through the analysis of survey responses, consumers' attitudes towards themes found in the observed
local food environment were evaluated. Consumer questionnaire responses were given an overall score and then categorized based upon the stores at which the consumer bought produce. Third, consumer responses were linked back to their appropriate retailer category to conclude if attitudes about
local produce were affected by where the respondent shopped for produce. Results indicate that there are many similarities between the retailer-defined and consumer-perceived definitions of
local produce through the use of spatial criteria and embedded values, but these definitions are variable and the motivations for retailers and consumers to define various criteria of '
local' are different. Additionally, although consumers do not appear to receive information regarding meanings and definitions of
local produce exclusively through the retailers at which they shop, both retailers and consumers display a need to have some sort of defined space as '
local'. However, despite this need to define a space as
local, a stark absence of cartographic visualization was found within retail outlets to communicate the spatial meaning of
local.'

▼ I study the relationship between farmers markets accepting food stamps (SNAP) and food-borne illness in the United States. Using a state-level panel data set that covers 50 states and the District of Columbia for 2004-2013, I find no relationship between SNAP-accepting farmers markets per capita and reported outbreaks of food-borne illness and cases of food-borne illness per capita. When including SNAP redemption value at farmers markets as a control variable, I find a negative and statistically significant relationship between farmers markets accepting food stamps per capita and reported C. perfringens outbreaks per capita for 2009-2013. When excluding SNAP redemption value at farmers markets from the control variables, I find positive and statistically significant relationships between farmers markets accepting food stamps per capita and reported staphylococcus aureus outbreaks, as well as reported Salmonella enterica outbreaks, per capita. The falsification and placebo tests indicate that these relationships are likely to be spurious.

▼ Immigrant communities’ relationships with their home foods are intricate and are often embodied with an emotional experience of the departed home. The determination of the Indonesian community in preserving the habit of consuming Indonesian
food, which is often imported, and their reluctance to adopt a more sustainable diet, such as a diet consisting mainly of
local seasonal produce, leads this research to question whether there are powerful motivations behind this persistence. This research found this is partly due to the close link between the consumption of Indonesian
food and the preservation of Indonesian identity and memories of the departed home, meaning certain dishes are often recreated and consumed to either relive the embodied experiences or express their ethnicity, or both at the same time. The community shows how ethnicity plays a major role in
food choices and preferences, as well as their perception of
local cuisines and produces. The emotional bond of immigrants with their home is a significant aspect to consider in the pursuit of sustainable Scotland, and this study displays the ineffectiveness of campaigns such as Eat in Season among the immigrant communities and suggests a more empathetic approach.

▼ This thesis is a feasibility study for a low-volume processing and distribution center for local food in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It begins with an investigation into the popularity of the local food movement and a justification of why this
project is necessary to help citizens and retailers access high quality local products in Chattanooga. The analysis considers the current structure of distribution and its failings, relevant regulations and policies that may affect business growth,
current market conditions, relevant business models and the most suitable location for such an operation. This is intended as an applied research thesis; it is hoped to be the first step towards creating a legitimate business model.

▼ Across the US, support is ever-growing for the local food movement. This growing trend promotes food security, supports farming families, ensures universal access to safe and healthy food products, enhances local economies, and encourages environmental and social well-being. People around the US are implementing sustainable local food systems as a means of meeting their individual community’s needs. While this movement is being popularized dramatically around the world, many cities and regions have yet to address it. This study reviews the existing literature on local food system models in an effort to answer the research question: What are the “ingredients” of a healthy local food system? The local food system of Owensboro, KY was analyzed via interviews with key players in its food system. In addition, experts in this field at the state level were also interviewed to understanding the functions of and the degree of support for local food systems in KY. Recommendations were then made for the city of Owensboro on how to further enhance its local food system into one of greater vibrancy and overall health.

▼ The
Local Food Movement (LFM) is composed of a complex network of actors including producers (e.g., farmers, ranchers, processors), purveyors (e.g., farmers’ market vendors, retailers, restaurateurs), organizers (e.g., farmers’ market operators,
food bank administrators) and narrators (e.g.,
local food journalists). Limited governance within
local food systems (LFSs) and a lack of consensus on the definition of ‘
local food’ provide such actors with notable latitude in how they frame the meaning of ‘local’ in the products they produce, market, and sell. The expansion of
food products that are framed as being
local within conventional retail sites may be further convoluting the meaning and representation of
local food across the disparate market sites that operate within a single LFS (e.g. community gardens, farmers’ markets, festivals, grocery stores, roadside stands, you-picks). Thus, consumers are left to sort through a variety of elements (e.g., activist, aesthetic, community, cultural, ecological, economic, health and wellness) that converge and compete to shape their understanding of
local food and guide their consumption decisions. Here, I use a structured photo analysis design to explore the elements that influence the visual representation of
local food within five farmers’ markets and five grocery stores within the Southern Arizona
Local Food System (SALFS). The theoretical principles of institutional logics guide my identification and analysis of the beliefs, motives, practices and values that guide the framing practices and strategies of
local food actors within various retail settings. Commodification, the act of turning something with intrinsic value into a exchangeable good, is used to reveal how the various elements that underpin the LFM are (or are not) being leveraged to support the representation of
local food products across different retail settings. The theoretical principles of taste regimes, the concept that social groups with high levels of cultural capital have the greatest influence over the meaning and legitimacy of products within an aesthetically oriented culture of consumption, is used to analyze the similarities and differences between the representations of
local food within and across the 10 retail locations. The findings illustrate how
local food framing practices and strategies across conventional and unconventional retail sites foster a
local food taste regime that is mostly inconsistent with the fundamental principles and values of the LFM. Recommendations for
local food practitioners and further research are provided.

▼ Participation in the
local food movement has grown
dramatically in the United States with the farmers’ market being
one of its most widespread and heavily promoted forums (Gillespie
2007). Movement proponents have hailed this shift from
"conventional"
food production as a tactic that introduces more
environmentally sustainable and socially just outcomes for society.
In this light, proponents have argued that the interactions and
transactions that occur at farmers’ markets benefit market
participants, but, more importantly, have broader benefits for the
neighborhoods they are located in and for society itself (Lyson
2007). Quite differently, research on
food deserts, places that
have limited to no access to the conventional
food system and high
levels of poverty, has documented these areas to be plagued by
numerous social ills at both the individual and neighborhood level.
For example, an extensive body of research has shown that the
individuals living in these areas have diets that deviate
substantially from what is considered to be nutritional and that
neighborhoods, on average, have worse health outcomes compared to
neighborhoods not considered to be
food desert. While the effects
of living in a
food desert are fairly well known, much less is
known about the efforts to alleviate the situation. One such
proscription that has been suggested to contribute to better
food
access in
food deserts has been the previously mentioned
local
foods movement, particularly its farmers’ market tactic. The
promise of benefits by the
local food movement to society generally
and to
food deserts specifically raises several important
questions, notably: where are farmers’ markets located and who has
access to them? While the movements popularity and tactical
development has been lauded in the media and academia, few works
have examined farmers’ markets locations nationally and little
evidence exists to systematically describe the neighborhoods they
are in or the individuals that live close by. This dissertation
begins this conversation by examining the efficacy of the farmers’
market, the flagship facet of the
local foods movement, is at
reaching its stated goals, particularly the cultivating the access
for the democratization of
food access. Using data from the USDA
and US Census, this dissertation examines the
local foods movement
broadly and its relationship with
food deserts. The first analysis
explores the location of farmers’ markets areas across several
geographic measurements, including at the national,
region/division, and at the census tract levels. The second
analysis conducts multivariate logistic analysis to investigate
where farmers’ markets are founded in the US using several
identifying characteristics of the individuals living around a
market and characteristics of the neighborhood itself. The last
analysis investigates how often farmers’ markets are in founded in
food deserts by examining the historical record of each phenomena,
in addition to analyzing contemporary cross sectional data. The
analyses have several…

▼ Alternative agriculture is an expansive movement which involves many different types of crop and food production. Participating in alternative agriculture markets, including organic, minimally-processed, natural, and local food systems is a growing consumer trend. Regarding the latter, there is a gap in knowledge that specifically focuses on the social-psychological motivations of consumers to participate in local food systems. Studies more often compare local to other types of alternative or conventional agriculture. Further, within alternative agriculture, gender dimensions of consumer intent are prominently stated with numerous studies comparing and contrasting the different beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors that men and women attribute to food produced in an alternative manner, yet specific focus on the element of gender in local food systems using a social-psychological framework is less common.
My research aims to better understand how attitudes and beliefs influence consumer intention to purchase locally grown or produced food rather than non-local food. This research is guided by three research questions: 1) how do consumers define 'local' food?; 2) what consumer beliefs and attitudes influence intention to purchase locally grown or produced food?; and 3) are there differences in beliefs or attitudes between males and females that influence decisions to buy local?
For this research I collected survey data using a purposive sample of members from an online local foods cooperative. To answer the research questions, I utilized the Theory of Planned Behavior, a social-psychological framework to address individual motivational factors within unique contexts to explain the execution of a specific behavior. I found that consumer intent to buy local was influenced by the belief that local is better for the environment. Intent to buy local was also influenced by attitudes of community economic wellbeing, suggesting that survey respondents buy local to support the economic viability of their community. Alternatively, attitudes about freshness, better taste, and better look of local food slightly negatively influenced purchase intent, suggesting that survey respondents were less likely to consider superiority and aesthetic characteristics of local food as influencing their intention to buy local. Finally, perceived influence from family members, including parents and children, increased intention of survey respondents to buy local. Female respondents, in particular, were also influenced by their partner or spouse. I also found that survey participants tend to be female, older, and more educated. Moreover, the most commonly associated definition of ‘local’ was food grown or produced in Iowa. These findings contribute to the field of sociology and advance understanding of who participates in local food outlets, specific beliefs and attitudes towards local food in contrast to non-local, and the nuances of what ‘local’ food means to consumers.

▼ Community farms are a relatively new type of
local food initiative, defined by working landscapes that integrate producers into a supportive social environment in order to facilitate the long-term development of sustainable
local food systems. In Ontario, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is the first, and presently the only, conservation authority providing public lands to community farms. In this case study of the TRCA, the conditions for the establishment of community farms on public conservation lands in Ontario are examined, and the implications for
local food systems are discussed. Two of the four community farms based on TRCA lands are closely investigated, revealing that one focussed on supporting new farmers by developing an incubator farm, while the other developed a multi-functional project with
food at the centre of a place-based community initiative.

▼ There is an interest towards strengthening the local food system on North Shore, BC. This research addresses several community-based projects of the North Shore: food distribution by local agricultural producers, sustainable food growing and harvesting, and also education and/or advocacy. It concentrates, in particular, on identifying the success factors of these local food initiatives by performing a qualitative analysis through participant observation, interviews and literature analysis.
Initial research finds several barriers local community-based food initiatives might face. They are related to a lack of access, lack of resources, poor governance structures, poor information sharing and uncooperative relationships between local food actors. I argue that although these barriers exist, there are certain favorable outcomes associated with these attempts to create a sustainable food system in North Shore, BC. Identifying these success factors will allow me to further develop recommendations to help improve present initiatives and to develop future ones. Recommendations for municipal governments, food system advocates, entrepreneurs, farmers and other interested parties are made at the end of this research.

▼ Doutoramento em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de Agronomia
The present dissertation is focused on the
study of contemporary Food Planning, an
emerging area of interdisciplinary research,
with greater development in Europe, U.S.A.
and Canada.
The limits to the approaches for the
conservation of agricultural land, current at
the end of the century XX, have been
identified in several countries, including
France, where peri-urban agricultural
policies, have been implemented since the
70s. In the 90s, the experiences of collective
action of local initiative by elected officials,
urban residents and managers of rural areas,
have helped to limit urbanisation and to the
development of agricultural projects – agrourban
programs. These were designed to
protect the economic viability of agriculture
through development programs, which in the
metropolitan context take into account the
specificity of the peri-urban agriculture and its
potential for the development of Short Food
Supply Chains (SFSCs).
In this context, knowing the productive
potential of a region on the basis of existing food needs is of paramount importance to
policies aimed at creating Local Food
Systems or Territorial Food Systems.
Considering the role of Landscape
Architecture in ecologically based Landscape
Planning, the main objective of this thesis is
to evaluate the proposal for food system
relocalisation, considering production side of
the food system, in the case study area –
Ribatejo e Oeste.
The results of the Landscape Foodshed
Plans to be presented will demonstrate the
potential for the relocalisation of the food
system, while ensuring the sustainable use of
the regional ecological basis of food security.
In the context of the current debate on diets
sustainability in the Global North countries,
three diets will be tested with variable
degrees of affluence, to take in account
differences in land use

▼ Food hubs have been discussed as a promising option for scaling-up the
local food system while maintaining close relationships and shared responsibility amongst producers and consumers.
Food hubs have the capacity to share important messages about
food safety, origin, and production methods with consumers, however little is known about if, and how,
food hubs communicate the value of
local food to their buyers. This is crucial when assuring value to the consumer, which is necessary for the long-term sustainability of the
food hub model. It is important to know more about these methods and practices because these messages can impact the long-term viability of
food hubs and
local agriculture, as well as community health and economic stability.
This thesis explores the motivation behind why buyers chose to buy through
food hubs, what information provided by
food hubs is useful in marketing and selling
local products, and how buyers allocate their money and their time that allows them to efficiently purchase
local products. A mixed methods approach was used to gather data. Qualitative research methods were used in conducting semi-structured interviews with key informants. Interview questions focused on
local food marketing strategies and practices, motivations for buying
local, consumer behavior, firmographic characteristics, communication, challenges, opportunities, and relationships. In addition, data was collected through an online survey that followed the same themes. These themes were identified through a review of alternative
food network literature, which identified gaps in knowledge on the buyer-side of the
food hub value chain.
The themes that emerged from these semi-structured interviews and online survey have been used to better understand buyer motivations for purchasing
local food through
food hubs, how buyers make use of the information, services, and marketing material provided by
food hubs, and what strategies buyers use to integrate
local food purchasing efficiently into their budget.

▼ Chittenden County, Vermont is experiencing the national phenomenon of
food insecurity. While the visible majority of residents in this area are active in and place a high valuation on the “
local food market”, there is a population of individuals experiencing
food insecurity within the same county. This demographic is prevented from accessing these markets due to various limited resources. While conversations surrounding this issue exist, they often exclude the perspective of individuals who are producing
food. Additionally, the existing conversations do not thoroughly address the insecurities that producers are themselves facing. Using qualitative research methods, this study explores how farmers within Chittenden County understand “
local food systems”,
food insecurity, and farm insecurity, as well as, how they locate themselves within these topics and how the topics relate.

▼ This study extends the knowledge of
food security beyond socio-demographic predictors to include the
food environment. A method for measuring community
food security and identifying protective and risk factors was developed. Secondary data for 114 counties and one city in a Midwest state was analyzed. County-�level
food insecurity was estimated using a validated modeling technique. A Principal Components Analysis reduced the
food environment data from 46 to 22 indicators. Six components were retained. Component scores in a regression model showed that availability and affordability contributed the most, followed by program usage, access, and agricultural production. Transportation limitations and distance to
food stores were risk factors. Housing affordability protected communities. Low community
food insecure counties distributed more emergency
food and had more Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. A regression equation was then used to produce an estimate of the percentage of community
food insecure households. This method for measuring community
food security allows a way to conceptualize systems components that can be manipulated through interventions. Since
food insecurity exists in vulnerable populations, social workers can use this knowledge to cultivate a landscape for community
food security.

▼ Food loss and waste (FLW) constitute a substantial
problem for global
food security. Particularly, fresh produce
constitutes 44% (by weight) of the global FLW. FLW of fresh produce
occurs throughout the
food chain, from production to the consumer.
In the Central U.S., many small-acreage fruit and vegetable growers
are utilizing high tunnels, which have been successful at
increasing the yield of several crops. However, little is known
about the effect of this production system on FLW. Moreover, small
acreage producers have limited access to postharvest handling
resources like refrigeration, which can lead to FLW during storage.
Finally, consumer dissatisfaction is one of the main drivers of
postharvest
food waste in fresh produce. The overall objective of
this dissertation was to investigate interventions for reducing FLW
of locally produced spinach (Spinacia oleracea cv. Corvair). The
effect of the high tunnel production system on preharvest losses,
quality at harvest and during storage, consumer acceptability, and
shelf life of spinach were examined and compared to the open field
production system. We also evaluated the effect of passive Modified
Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) on the quality and shelf life of locally
grown spinach stored at non-optimum temperatures of 13 and 21 °C.
Field experiments were carried out at the Kansas State University
Olathe Horticulture Center from 2014 to 2017. We utilized a systems
approach with six replications for each growing system. Shelf life
experiments were performed at near-optimum and non-optimum
temperatures. Spinach produced in high tunnels consistently
demonstrated significantly higher marketable yield and higher
percent marketability when compared to spinach produced in the open
field. Both production systems produce spinach of premium physical
and nutritional quality. There were no differences between the two
treatments when spinach was stored at 3 °C. However, high tunnel
spinach demonstrated improved postharvest behavior at 13 °C due to
reduced respiration
and yellowing rate and increased water content
when compared to the open field. Consumer acceptability and sensory
characteristics of spinach grown in the two systems were evaluated
using a consumer study and descriptive sensory analysis. Consumers
preferred spinach produced in high tunnels in terms of overall
liking, flavor liking, and texture liking when compared to the open
field and non-
local spinach. Descriptive analysis showed that
locally grown spinach had a higher intensity of attributes that
indicate premium quality, such as green color and green/spinach
flavors. BreatheWay® technology was investigated for the passive
MAP experiments and spinach was stored at non-optimum temperatures.
Spinach stored in MAP demonstrated a storage life extension, due to
a slower rate of yellowing and water loss. The results of this work
indicate that high tunnel production can reduce the FLW of spinach
and produce a crop of high organoleptic quality that is preferred
by consumers. Passive MAP has the potential to extend the…

▼ Garden Hill is a remote fly-in First Nation community in Northern Manitoba with a very high incidence of
food insecurity. This study examined
food security and
food sovereignty of the Garden Hill community by reinvigorating an environmental stewardship-driven
food system. This research used community-based participatory research approach, and both qualitative and quantitative research tools to generate data and information. Findings reveal that only 3% households are
food secure, 66% households are moderately
food insecure, and 31% households are severely
food insecure. Once self-sufficient with foods gathered from the
local, natural foodshed, the community experienced a radical shift in
food habits with a greater dependency on processed market foods. Such transformation in
food habit and dietary balance, coupled with limited economic opportunities, made the inhabitants increasingly
food insecure and vulnerable to multiple health complications. This research demonstrated the community has potentials for
local food production. A pilot agricultural farm collaboratively established with a
local social enterprise Meechim Inc. grew
local food to help address the
food insecurity situation.

▼ The Good Food Box (GFB) program holds a great deal of promise to expand our understanding of Community Food Security (CFS). CFS represents a vision for solving hunger and other problems with the food system through an integrated approach that improves access to good and appropriate food for all while at the same time building community, strengthening local agricultural economies, and maximizing social justice. The GFB, one type of CFS program, is a community-based initiative found across Canada that provides a box of healthy food to customers at near wholesale prices; it has the potential to increase access to healthy food, develop alternative distribution channels, link producers more closely with consumers, build community connections, and more. Yet despite the fact that over 50 unique GFB programs exist across Canada, little research has been done on how these myriad programs are structured and function, how this program model has spread to and been adapted by communities across Canada, and how individual programs operate while balancing multiple goals and priorities.
This paper, based on qualitative interviews with managers at 21 GFB programs across Canada, explores the diversity of GFB programs in Canada, and how these programs balance multiple priorities along with day-to-day logistical constraints. GFB programs functioning across Canada have diverse goals, tensions sometimes arise when balancing multiple goals, and programs have found various ways to resolve these tensions. Moreover, GFB programs are educating and empowering people in their communities, as well as networking and learning among themselves. This is one of the first studies describing the breadth of GFB programs across Canada, and some of the findings have not been identified in previous scholarship. I describe the variety of program structures, the main priorities and goals that the programs identify, and some of the tensions and innovations that arise when working to balance the multiple goals and dimensions of CFS. I also discuss how programs communicate and learn from each other, and how the GFB in Canada can help us understand the CFS movement more generally.

▼ This study investigates the history and evolution of the concept of ‘
local food’ in Australia from the late 18th to the early 21st century. It does so by examining and explaining the meanings attached to and conveyed by
local foods within their social-historical context. This is the first academic inquiry into the history of
local foods in Australia and thus it makes an original contribution to the fields of Australian history,
food history and marketing studies. The thesis argues that a preference for
local food did exist in the post-1788 environment and supports this argument with the identification of various factors that were responsible for distinguishing
local foods in Australia, including government intervention, industrialisation, marketing and the desire to develop a cultural identity separate from Britain, promoting a fierce independence reflected in the production of branded Australian-made products starting around the time of Federation. Using a history of commodities approach to link the production and consumption of
local food products in four case studies, the main forces driving the connections to
local foods are documented. The thesis contends that definitions of ‘local’ and understandings of the benefits associated with
local foods have clearly shifted over time and the changes in meanings make it confusing for today’s consumers, meaning there are a number of fundamental uncertainties relating to how the distinctive characteristics of
local foods may be determined, and how the special end qualities of such products may be understood or identified.
