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.

This Palgrave Handbook offers the first international comparative
study into the efficiency of the industrial organization of the
global wine industry. Looking at several important vineyards of the
main wine countries, the contributors analyze differences in
implementation and articulation of three key stages: grape
production, wine making and distribution (marketing, selling and
logistics). By examining regulations, organization theory, industry
organizational efficiency and vertical integration, up to date
strategies in the sector are presented and appraised. Which models
are most efficient? What are the most relevant factors for optimal
performance? How do reputation and governance impact the industry?
Should different models co-exist within the wine countries for
global success? This comprehensive volume is essential reading for
students, researchers and professionals in the wine industry.
