Local Food Systems and Community Economic Development provides
scholarly and practical knowledge on a range of issues often
associated with local food system development. Many people agree
that there are unintended consequences associated with the manner
in which our food supply chain has evolved. These concerns range in
focus from health, to environment, to economic structure, to social
justice. But, for each argument critical of our current food
system, there are to be found strong counter-arguments; the popular
press is replete with stories that lean toward taking specific
sides in these arguments, often demonizing those on the other side.
In this volume local food scholars strive to be fair, balanced, and
as factual as possible in their arguments. This even-handed
approach is appropriate as it should foster more sustainable
community change and should lead us toward a stronger foundation
for scholarly inquiry and ultimately more respect and credibility
for efforts to better understand the phenomenon of local and
regional food system development. Amidst a deepening interest in
local food systems as a community economic development strategy,
Local Food Systems and Community Economic Development will be of
great interest to scholars of community development, rural studies,
agriculture, food systems, and rural economy. The chapters
originally published as a special issue of Community Development.
