• Progressing knowledge in alternative and local food networks: Critical reflections and a research agenda (2011, background): “Sometimes, it is the nature of the channel structure which is considered alternative, i.e. the short chain relations between producers and consumers that exist in FMs or box schemes (Marsden et al., 2000; Renting et al., 2003)-3.”
• The valuation and purchase of food products that combine local, regional and traditional features: The influence of consumer ethnocentrism (2018, background): “They travel along short chains and, regardless of the number of intermediaries or the travel distance, reach the consumer with explicit information about their origins (Renting et al., 2003).”

• Managing sustainable farmed landscape through ‘alternative’ food networks: a case study from Italy (2006, background): “Recent research by Marsden and others has emphasized, first, the importance of agriculture to strategies for sustainable rural development (Marsden et al. 2001 2002; Marsden and Smith 2005; Renting et al. 2003), and second, that such strategies can be conceptualized as part of a wider contemporary s”
• Market Access for Local Food through the Conventional Food Supply Chain (2011, neutral): “Key characteristics of the SFSC include the following (Sage, 2003; Marsden et al.2000; Renting et al. 2003; Ilbery and Maye, 2005b): (a) Products that pass through the SFSC channel are commonly defined by the locality, region or by a specific producer.”

• Measuring the Economic, Environmental, and Social Sustainability of Short Food Supply Chains (2019, background): “Marsden [4], and later Renting [11], proposed three main types of SFSCs, which create specific forms of relations between consumers and food producers: • Face-to-face: the consumer buys a product directly from the producer on a face-to-face basis, allowing for authenticity and trust via the personal”
