“…In Eastern European countries (e.g., Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic), farmers' markets and CSA emerged alongside already-present non-market-based food self-provisioning (FSP) practices (herein including home gardens and community gardens) [39][40][41][42], which still play a fundamental socio-economic role at the individual and community levels. In Scandinavian countries, the literature has rather documented the emergence of a culinary "specialty food" movement relying on local supply networks, thus implicitly embedding SFSCs [43,44].…”

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

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.

Producers' and processors' perceptions of locality and its interaction with the concept of organic farming – empirical evidence from Denmark

PurposeGiven the fact that local food as a tool to create value-added is a relatively new trend in Scandinavian countries with a strong emphasis on organic food, only limited – and mainly qualitative and case-based - empirical evidence on producers and processors involved in local food value chains (FVCs) has been available so far. Thus, the present paper contributes to the small but growing literature analyzing local FVCs by providing and analyzing quantitative survey data. More specifically, the authors aim at investigating (1) how agricultural producers and processors define and perceive local food, (2) which drivers are important for the decision to become involved in local FVC and (3) whether these drivers differ in a systematic way across producers and processors.Design/methodology/approachIn order to address these research questions, empirical data from a quantitative stakeholder survey carried out in spring in 2017 is used. Data are analyzed via descriptive and inductive statistics including a cluster analysis.FindingsThe survey results concerning the definition and perceptions of local food are in line with previous studies showing that there is usually a strong emphasis on geographic proximity. Besides, local (organic) food producers and processors are diverse and heterogeneous with differing distribution and product differentiation strategies being implemented and pursued. In particular, businesses employing primarily a personified distribution strategy (e.g. direct sales via farmers markets) differ quite substantially from businesses employing mainly a standardized distribution strategy (e.g. via retail) in their economic characteristics. Moreover, differences in the perception of potential benefits of local food as well as in the underlying drivers to become part of local FVCs were detected across businesses with different distribution strategies.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the employed data sample is considered adequate for analyzing heterogeneity in firms' business strategies, the sample is not representative for Denmark and cannot straight-forwardly be extrapolated to the population level.Originality/valueOne of the first quantitative study on producers' and processors' perceptions of local food and its interaction with organic farming. So far, there is a large literature on consumers' perceptions but empirical evidence for other stakeholders is scarce. Hence, the present study provides a complementary perspective on the topic of local food.

“…A possible basis of inspiration for the process of identifying new paths for the Bornholm fishery sector is the changes in the recent 20-30 years within the land-based food sector on Bornholm (Manniche, 2013), reflecting more general trends in Nordic and other western countries in recent decades (Manniche and Saether 2017). Alongside the dominating scale-and price-competing production and distribution model of agriculture and food processing industries, new productions of specialized, premiumpriced food, beverage and confectionary products have emerged, supported byamong others -the Bornholm LAG (Manniche 2013).…”

“…However, one main type of specialty food is "organic", which according to the Danish Agriculture & Food Council stands for 9.8% of total food retail sales in Denmark 2016 (http://lf.dk/viden-om/oekologi/markedet). See alsoHalkier et al (2016) for a comparative analysis of the emergence of specialty foods in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, andManniche & Saether (2017) for discussions about the possible transition of food systems in the Nordic countries.…”
