“…This conceptualisation therefore suggests a shift away from dualistic language to describe SFSCs, a similar point previously made by Holloway et al [24] concerning the alternative-conventional dichotomy often used to qualify food networks, and that has given rise to a vast literature on SFSCs using the notion of "alternative food networks" (AFN). In line with this perspective, recent research has also called for a mixed-methods approach for deconstructing and assessing various types of SFSCs, i.e., the consideration of both qualitative and quantitative dimensions [25,26].…”

“…In addition to income, SFSCs reduce economic uncertainties in contrast to the market volatility typical of long chains [25], and ensure a regular cash flow that favours the greening of agricultural practices [74]. Nevertheless, the determination of a "fair" price in SFSCs remains a fundamental issue, both in direct sale schemes and in chains involving intermediaries [75].…”

“…For instance, the risk of "self-exploitation" has been highlighted in CSA models [80] due to a high workload and consumer pressure. Increased workload can also affect the continuity of the farm operation, i.e., the desire of the following generation to take over the family business [25,81]. Work organisation in SFSCs remains an important issue, also from an environmental perspective (see Section 4.3), while the use of digital technologies opens new, time-saving opportunities, yet requires skills [61].…”

Sustainable Food Supply Chains: Is Shortening the Answer? A Literature Review for a Research and Innovation Agenda

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are increasingly garnering attention in food systems research, owing to their rising popularity among consumers, producers and policy-makers in the last few decades. Written with the aim to identify research gaps for the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, this literature review provides a state of play of the definition and characterisation of SFSCs, and of their sustainability. Drawing on hypotheses about SFSC sustainability elaborated in an expert network in France, this review summarises a wide range of papers from various disciplines in the SFSC literature, written in English or French, while specifically highlighting the empirical results derived from European projects. Though the literature tends to generally agree on the social benefits of SFSCs, their economic and environmental impacts typically elicit more heterogeneous outcomes, while their health/nutrition and governance dimensions remain under-explored. Based on this review, recommendations for a future research and innovation programme are outlined, addressing the contribution of SFSCs to agrifood system transition and resilience in the current context of the Covid-19 crisis and of the Green New Deal objectives.

“…Farmers who joined SFSCs were more likely to diversify their products. In some cases, farms who joined SFSCs had a higher workforce [8,9] and gained a higher income per asset and hour-but those results were very heterogeneous among farms, got more adequate prices and higher value-added [10], and reduced economic uncertainties [11] compared with long chains.…”

Can a Short Food Supply Chain Create Sustainable Benefits for Small Farmers in Developing Countries? An Exploratory Study of Vietnam

et al. 2021

A number of studies have indicated that short food supply chains could create economic, social, and environmental benefits, but most of those chains were implemented in developed countries. This research aims to find out the characteristics of short food supply chains and their benefits to small farmers in Vietnam, which is a developing country, based on the survey results from 338 small farmers in the third quarter of 2020, with the support of Stata 14 software. The results showed that the short food supply chains in the survey sample in Vietnam were characterized by two main actors: small farmers and distributors. Farmers could sell products flexibly at the local market. There was some initial evidence to prove that these chains helped to stabilize the input, output price, and revenue; formulated sustainable income; and increased the satisfaction and confidence of farmers. They eliminated gender discrimination in rural areas and improved livelihood for ethnic minorities. These chains also enhanced the mindset on green, organic, and clean production of farmers, which in turn created environmental benefits. COVID-19 has posed a negative impact on the income of farmers and made them change their production and sales method. Therefore, the research could suggest some policies to sustainably develop the short food supply chains in Vietnam in the future.

“…Au niveau socio-économique, la réduction du nombre d'intermédiaires serait génératrice d'une meilleure répartition de la valeur ajoutée et d'un mieux vivre pour les petits producteurs, d'une part. D'autre part, la proximité relationnelle liée aux pratiques de vente directe serait créatrice de liens sociaux et d'une plus grande transparence sur la qualité des produits, permettant le maintien de la confiance entre les acteurs de la chaîne alimentaire (Mundler et Rumpus, 2012 ;Praly et al, 2014 ;Forssell et Lankoski, 2015 ;Lamine, 2015 ;Boutry et Ferru, 2016). À nouveau, des analyses ont relativisé la capacité des circuits courts et de proximité à répondre au problème de la rentabilité (Ilbery et Maye, 2005 ;Jarosz, 2008) ou soulignent les difficultés de ces systèmes à résoudre la tension entre subsistance des producteurs et accessibilité des produits (Guthman et al, 2006).…”
