Scaling up alternative food networks: farmers' markets and the role of clustering in western Canada. [REVIEW]Mary A. Beckie, Emily Huddart Kennedy & Hannah Wittman - 2012 - Agriculture and Human Values 29 (3):333-345.details Farmers’ markets, often structured as non-profit or cooperative organizations, play a prominent role in emerging alternative food networks of western Canada. The contribution of these social economy organizations to network development may relate, in part, to the process of regional clustering. In this study we explore the nature and significance of farmers’ market clustering in the western Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, focusing on the possible connection between clustering and a “scaling up” of alternative food networks.

Bringing food desert residents to an alternative food market: a semi-experimental study of impediments to food access.Yuki Kato & Laura McKinney - 2015 - Agriculture and Human Values 32 (2):215-227.details The emerging critique of alternative food networks (AFNs) points to several factors that could impede the participation of low-income, minority communities in the movement, namely, spatial and temporal constraints, and the lack of economic, cultural, and human capital.

The citizen-consumer hybrid: ideological tensions and the case of Whole Foods Market. [REVIEW]Josée Johnston - 2008 - Theory and Society 37 (3):229-270.details Ethical consumer discourse is organized around the idea that shopping, and particularly food shopping, is a way to create progressive social change.

The University as of August 2006 requires its corporate caterers to use local and sustainable farm products for a small but increasing portion of meals for most of its 60,000 students.
