Abstract

In this chapter, Corsi, Barbera, Dansero, Orlando, and Peano present the general theoretical framework for the research described in this volume. They discuss the concept of Alternative Food Networks as presented in the literature and the criteria of “alternativeness” on which it is based (length of the chain, local origin, embeddedness), arguing that the main factor that determines whether a chain can be considered alternative is the quality of the exchange relationship, that is, the fact that in AFNs the exchange is not only a question of selling a commodity for money, but produces benefits in itself. They review the current approaches to AFNs in different disciplines—economics, sociology, geography, anthropology, and environmental sciences—and present the approach followed in this book.

previous chapter Introduction
next chapter Introduction to Part II: AFNs from the Consumer’s Viewpoint
Footnotes
1
Even the use of online and social media by participants in short food supply chains only supplements existing reconnections between producers and consumers and cannot substitute for personal relationships (Bos & Owen, 2016; Fonte, 2013)
 
2
The MWTP is the maximum amount of money consumers would pay for an additional quantity of the good. The consumer purchases additional quantities of the good until the utility provided by them is greater than the utility foregone by paying the price of an additional quantity of the good, that is, the utility lost by giving up other goods that could have been purchased with the same money.
 
3
These two streams (orders of worth and worlds of production) are summarized in Lucien Karpik’s perspective, where worlds of quality pair with different judgement devices that provide consumers with the knowledge to evaluate the “worth of goods” (Karpik, 2010, p. 96).
 
4
It is interesting to note that geographers like Renting et al. (2003), or Kneafsey (2010) now prefer the term SFSCs to AFNs and have also pointed out some distinctions between the concept of “local food system” as widely used in the early American studies. See in particular the distinctions and the choices made in the wider area of the study commissioned by the JRC (Kneafsey et al., 2013).
 
5
In this regard, see the distinction between the phases of the debate that we have proposed elsewhere (Dansero & Puttilli, 2013, p. 628).
