Growing local food: scale and local food systems governance (2012, background): “15 generating confidence, satisfaction, trust (Hunt 2007; Ostrom 2006; Ross 2006) and ‘regard’ (Kirwan 2004; Sage 2007).”
Embedding Local Places in Global Spaces: Geographical Indications as a Territorial Development Strategy (2010, background): “Although the notion of embeddedness can be used to create alternative systems that value the social, environmental, and health aspects of food production, extralocal actors can also appropriate embeddedness in order to maximize their commercial profit by accessing niche markets (Kirwan 2004).”
Rural development through the construction of new, nested, markets: comparative perspectives from China, Brazil and the European Union (2012, background): “Another mechanism for flexibility (and for further growth) is through delivery to urban farmers’ markets (Kirwan 2004), internet ordering systems (Milone 2009) and box schemes (Lamine 2005).”
Possible food economies: a methodological framework for exploring food production-consumption relationships (2007, background): “together, agency in food provisioning is ascribed to consumers, but is also recognised as distributed across production–consumption relationships (Lockie and Kitto 2000; Goodman 2002; Goodman and DuPuis 2002; Guthman 2002; Lockie 2002; Holloway and Kneafsey 2004; Kirwan 2004).”
Farm to school programs: exploring the role of regionally-based food distributors in alternative agrifood networks (2010, background): “Kirwan (2004, p. 398) for example, argues that as AAFNs become economically significant, there is ‘‘potential for the appropriation of the economic benefits associated with the embeddedness of production […] by dominant actors within the ‘conventional’ agrofood system, typified by the ‘conventional”
Alternative food networks as “market agencements”: Exploring their multiple hybridities (2016, background): “The producers, for their part, want to sell their produce for a good price and do not always want to engage in lengthy discussions with consumers (Hinrichs, 2000; Kirwan, 2004; Weatherell et al., 2003).”
Moral economies of food and geographies of responsibility (2009, background): “Kirwan (2004) has reviewed how the notion of embeddedness has been utilised within agri-food studies, drawing distinctions between strategies that create alterity, valorise local assets or are simply commercial appropriation.”
The role of farmer organizations in supplying supermarkets with quality food in Vietnam (2010, background): “The latter have yet to be introduced in Vietnam, unlike other countries such as Malaysia or India (Braber, 2006) or indeed in Europe (Kirwan, 2004).”
Co-producing Transition: Innovation Processes in Farms Adhering to Solidarity-based Purchase Groups (GAS) in Tuscany, Italy (2011, background): “This is the case of post-organic movements (Moore, 2006; Goodman and Goodman, 2007), which include CSAs (Cone and Myhre, 2000), AMAPS (Lamine, 2005), and farmers’ markets (Govindasamy et al., 2002; Kirwan, 2004).”
Characterizing alternative food networks in China (2015, background): “Correspondingly, ‘‘reconnection’’ between producers and consumers, alongside ‘‘re-placing’’ and ‘‘relocalization,’’ are seen by agro-food scholars as some of the most prominent features of alternative food initiatives (Kirwan 2004; Watts et al. 2005; Wiskerke 2009).”
A Theory of Planned behaviour perspective for investigating the role of trust in consumer purchasing decision related to short food supply chains (2018, background): “Notoriously, SFSCs reconnect farmers and consumers (Kirwan, 2004), and those direct interactions between the actors provide consumers with a sense of trust that affects their purchasing decisions in relation to short chains (Holloway & Kneafsey, 2000).”
On Places Lost and Places Regained: Reflections on the Alternative Food Geography and Sustainable Regional Development (2009, background): “(Kirwan, 2004:395) Another dimension is the rising relation between the public sector and the regional food market.”
Building Food Democracy: Exploring Civic Food Networks and Newly Emerging Forms of Food Citizenship (2012, background): “…that consumers may provide growing public demand for the local food sector with motives ranging from environmental and health consciousness, quality choice, sense of community in local shops and solidarity purchasing for local farmers (Kirwan, 2004; Brunori et al., 2012, Eden et al., 2008a).”
