Retailing local food in the Scottish-English borders: A supply chain perspective
چکیده انگلیسی
Local food is championed as one alternative response to industrial systems of food production and supply. While advocacy for local food is high, there is a lack of empirical evidence about the actual shape and scale of such food supply chains, especially from a retail perspective. Using supply chain diagrams, this paper presents a summary of 'new' agro-food geographies for five different retail types-farm shops, butchers, caterers, specialist shops, supermarkets/department stores-that all source local food from suppliers in the Scottish-English borders. Presented as five separate 'shopping trips', the paper examines where, how and why retailers source local food. Results reveal the complex nature of local food systems, especially in terms of intra-sector competitive dynamics (with a notable tension between direct forms of retail and established (independent) retailers), links and overlaps with 'normal' food retail systems and elastic notions of the 'local'. The paper also draws a key distinction between locally produced and locally supplied food products.
