The ambition of the book is to investigate a possible transition in
the markets for food in the Nordic countries. Six chapters from
various disciplinary traditions study change and innovation within
the food sectors in Denmark, Sweden and Norway; while an
introductory chapter discusses the findings of these analyses.
Specialty food has established a strong position within product
categories such as craft beer in Denmark and organic food in
Sweden, but has failed to do so in others. The emergence of markets
for specialty foods have been promoted by top-down policy
initiatives and bottom-up entrepreneurial efforts. Far from
providing the only relevant platform for food transition and
innovation, the "New Nordic Food" manifesto has helped creating a
territorialized action space for networks of food producers and
distributors promoting diversity in local food and rural
development. Some of the specialty food networks have succeeded in
re-scaling their operations from a local to a national market.
Today even large retailers and food processing companies have to
pay notice to the ongoing changes among consumers. There is however
a paradoxical constraint in a transition towards specialty food. A
large-scale transition would imply that producers and consumers
abandon precisely what constitute them - their exclusiveness. The
chapters were originally published in a special issue of European
Planning Studies.
