In recent years, Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) have been a key
issue both in the scientific community and in public debates. This
is due to their profound implications for rural development, local
sustainability, and bio-economics. This edited collection discusses
what the main determinants of the participation of operators - both
consumers and producers - in AFNs are, what the conditions for
their sustainability are, what their social and environmental
effects are, and how they are distributed geographically. Further
discussions include the effect of AFNs in structuring the food
chain and how AFNs can be successfully scaled up. The authors
explicitly take an interdisciplinary approach to analyse AFNs from
different perspectives, using as an example the Italian region of
Piedmont, a particularly interesting case study due to the
diffusion of AFNs in the area, as well as due to the fact that it
was in this region that the 'Slow Food' movement originated.
