“…There are three main streams of research explaining the emergence of food hubs, especially regarding their purpose in the food system (Barham et al, 2012;Morley et al, 2008). The first body of literature proposes that food hubs are organizations created to enhance market efficiency in local and regional food systems (Cleveland et al, 2014;Day-Farnsworth and Morales, 2011;Diamond and Barham, 2012;Diamond et al, 2014;Matson and Thayer, 2013;Reynolds-Allie et al, 2013). According to this stream of research, food hubs emerged as 'logistical vehicles' that efficiently connect producers to wholesale buyers and individual consumers (Matson and Thayer, 2013).…”

Food hubs are nascent organizational innovations in local and regional food systems. Although the number of food hubs in the U.S. has grown over the past decade, their purpose in the food system is still debated. There is a lack of clarity in whether food hubs primarily pursue a social mission, economic value creation, or both simultaneously. To better understand the purpose of food hubs in the food system, this study draws from social entrepreneurship literature and examines the entrepreneurial processes by which food hubs were formed. By employing a comparative case study research method, the study examines four food hubs with different organizational models in the U.S. state of Michigan. The results show that food hubs are social enterprises aimed to simultaneously create social and economic value. Social value proposition, however, can be multifaceted and differs by food hub type. The key differences in food hub models stem from their legal business status, markets they serve, scope and scale of both mobilized resources and economic activities in ‘farm to fork’ supply chains.

“…My definition of repertoires of construction draws on Tilly's foundational concept and scholarship on the crucial but often-overlooked social-relational infrastructure underpinning resilient local food systems. For example, Day-Farnsworth and Morales (2011) argue that food hubs help make midtier food value(s) chains tick by meeting needs for aggregation, transparency and source identity, and fair pricing. Day-Farnsworth and Miller (2014) illuminate how building relationships and scale-appropriate transportation and distribution infrastructure is essential for the success of values-based regional food economies.…”

This paper addresses the relationship between resistance and building in collective political struggle. Although protests, strikes, and other repertoires of contention are well-studied in the contentious politics literature, relatively few scholars examine the interplay of contentious strategies and tactics with constructive action that builds social-relational infrastructure to meet collective needs. I draw on a case study of the campaign to divest from fossil fuels and reinvest in climate solutions to illustrate how contentious and constructive dimensions are intertwined in the climate movement. I generalize from this example to argue that constellations of ideologically-saturated constructive strategies and tactics – what I call repertoires of construction – have unique dynamics and implications for social movement theory that warrant analytical attention in their own right. Working paper presented at the 2022 Mobilization Conference in San Diego, California. Please check with the author for updates or corrections before citing.

“…In most cities, including Baltimore, local food production and processing are not sufficient to supply adequate food. Developing local and regional food production and the supply chains to support it is one way for planners to support food system resilience (Day-Farnsworth & Morales, 2011). That said, urban food security depends on an extensive and complex array of processes occurring at many scales and geographies.…”

Many natural and non-natural hazards threaten food security, especially in urban areas where growing populations place extra demands on the food supply. Ensuring stable food security before, during, and after disasters requires resilient food systems that can withstand and recover from disruptions. However, few U.S. cities have considered food systems in disaster preparedness or resilience planning. This reflective case study from the participant-observer perspective examines
