  1. Restaurants, chefs and local foods: insights drawn from application of a diffusion of innovation framework. [REVIEW]Shoshanah M. Inwood, Jeff S. Sharp, Richard H. Moore & Deborah H. Stinner - 2009 - Agriculture and Human Values 26 (3):177-191.
    Chefs have been recognized as potentially important partners in efforts to promote local food systems. Drawing on the diffusion of innovation framework we (a) examine the characteristics of chefs and restaurants that have adopted local foods; (b) identified local food attributes valued by restaurants; (c) examine how restaurants function as opinion leaders promoting local foods; (d) explored network linkages between culinary and production organizations; and (e) finally, we consider some of the barriers to more widespread adoption of local foods in (...)

  • Growing local food: scale and local food systems governance.Phil Mount - 2012 - Agriculture and Human Values 29 (1):107-121.
    Abstract“Scaling-up” is the next hurdle facing the local food movement. In order to effect broader systemic impacts, local food systems (LFS) will have to grow, and engage either more or larger consumers and producers. Encouraging the involvement of mid-sized farms looks to be an elegant solution, by broadening the accessibility of local food while providing alternative revenue streams for troubled family farms. Logistical, structural and regulatory barriers to increased scale in LFS are well known. Less is understood about the way (...)

  • The local industrial complex? Questioning the link between local foods and energy use.Matthew J. Mariola - 2008 - Agriculture and Human Values 25 (2):193-196.
    Local food has become the rising star of the sustainable agriculture movement, in part because of the energy efficiencies thought to be gained when food travels shorter distances. In this essay I critique four key assumptions that underlie this connection between local foods and energy. I then describe two competing conclusions implied by the critique. On the one hand, local food systems may need a more extensive and integrated transportation infrastructure to achieve sustainability. On the other hand, the production, transportation, (...)
