“…When asked about using FMs and CSAs, focus group participants expressed interest in accessing these food systems as they provided quality produce, leisure and learning opportunities, and fostered social connectedness. These aspects are described and discussed elsewhere and align with enablers identified in existing literature . Some had previously engaged with these initiatives; however, high costs prevented frequent patronage.…”

Aim:The present study compares perspectives of low socioeconomic individuals and food system representatives to identify ways of increasing access to community-based food systems. Methods: Focus groups with low socioeconomic individuals and semistructured interviews with representatives of farmers' markets, community-supported agriculture schemes, and a commercial fruit and vegetable box scheme explored enablers and barriers to accessing community-based food systems for those of low socioeconomic status and potential solutions to improve participation. Data were analysed using grounded theory and thematic analysis, respectively. Results: Affordability, convenience and knowledge were barriers for low socioeconomic individuals. Food system representatives acknowledged these same barriers, but showed different understandings of their importance. Some strategies to improve access suggested by low socioeconomic individuals were amenable to representatives; however, for other strategies, views between the two groups were divided, particularly for strategies addressing affordability. Conclusions: A disconnect exists between views of low socioeconomic individuals and food system representatives in regard to improving disadvantaged groups' access to community-based food systems. Several strategies amenable to both stakeholder groups are identified; however, further communication and collaboration is required to identify additional innovative solutions.

“…First, we look at the analytical approach focused on studying food governance that is structured around the AFN. In this paper, AFNs-which in the literature are variably called local food systems (Hinrichs 2000;Allen 2010; Papaoikonomou and Ginieis 2017), short food supply chains (Aubry and Kebir 2013;Mundler and Laughrea 2016), valuebased food supply chains (Bloom and Hinrichs 2011b;Berti and Mulligan 2016), community-based food systems (Markow et al 2014) or organic food networks (Favilli et al 2015) are defined as coalitions of actors pursuing alternative modalities so as to allocate resources to the food chain, make food production happen and govern the chain's processes (Manganelli et al 2020).…”

Despite the various studies on food governance structured around alternative food systems (AFS), analysis of the essential characteristics of it which facilitate the sustainability of the food system (FS) is still incipient. This study aims to clarify the debate on the role of governance in sustainability of the FS by way of the following two objectives: (i) to characterise the analytical approach of the literature in the processes of structuring of food governance related to AFS, and (ii) to reflect qualitatively on the essential factors to be considered which ensure sustainable processes and trajectories of the AFS. The research methodology is based on a systematic review of the literature in order to define the approaches identified in the relevant studies in their analysis of the food governance process. From the results, a conceptual framework is proposed that determines the strategies related to food governance which can help meet the challenges of the AFS. A multi-actor and multilevel governance is identified that takes into account both structural and variable aspects linked to the interdependent relationships that are involved in the construction processes of the alternative food networks (AFN). We conclude our study by identifying certain gaps in the knowledge as well as new lines of study that we deem necessary in order to consolidate the AFS from a vision of sustainability.
