Avoiding the Local Trap (2006, background): “We frequently see terms such as “global agro-food complex” (Winter 2003, 24) or the “global industrialized food system” (Campbell 2004, 342) or “free (global) market” (Henderson 1998, 112) that equate a global with a capitalist food system.”
Testing the assertion that ‘local food is best’: the challenges of an evidence-based approach (2008, background): “…other studies which report that local foods are equated with safe, pure and natural foods, whilst imported foods are more likely to carry the connotation of being impure and unsafe (Draper & Green, 2002; La Trobe, 2001; Nygard & Storstad, 1998; Weatherell, Tregear, & Allinson, 2003; Winter, 2003).”
Common ground? Motivations for participation in a community-supported agriculture scheme (2008, neutral): “As such, there has been a focus on how small-scale producers can “add value” to their food products by prioritising, for example, food “quality” (Gilg and Battershill 1998) or the fostering of “localised” food production–consumption networks (see Norberg-Hodge et al. 2002, Sage 2003, Winter 2003, Wh”
Linking agricultural development to school feeding in sub-Saharan Africa: Theoretical perspectives (2011, background): “The social, economic and environmental implications of re-localisating food and food systems have received particular attention over the last decade (Winter, 2003; Hinrichs, 2003; DuPuis and Goodman, 2005; Born and Purcell, 2006).6 The movement toward domestic (and regional) procurement of food aid…”
Managing private and public adaptation to climate change (2012, background): “Research on consumer motivations for participating in 'sustainable' food chains reveals that consumers envision solidarity with others and connectivity to place through their food purchases, namely with farmers within or near-by their community (Hinrichs, 2000; Winters, 2003).”
Alternative (Shorter) Food Supply Chains and Specialist Livestock Products in the Scottish–English Borders (2005, background): “In reality, all economic relations are socially embedded in a range of contrasting ways and so there are various degrees of social embeddedness in all food supply systems (Winter, 2003).”
Moral economies of food and geographies of responsibility (2009, background): “Recent debates about the social embedding of economic life by authors such as Granovetter (1985) and, in the context of food and farming, Murdoch et al. (2000) and Winter (2003), owe much to Polanyi’s pioneering work.”
Progressing knowledge in alternative and local food networks: Critical reflections and a research agenda (2011, background): “Meanwhile, on a wider scale, AFNs may encourage more harmonious community relations (Winter, 2003), and more democratic participation of actors into food provisioning (Goodman and DuPuis, 2002; Hinrichs, 2003; Goodman, 2004) Overall therefore, a range of social, economic and ecological benefits has…”
Local Embeddedness and Rural Entrepreneurship: Case-Study Evidence from Cumbria, England (2006, background): “On the other hand, however, there is a voluminous body of literature in which it is argued that the rural nonlabour inputs (especially in food and related industries) may confer material competitive advantage on account of perceptions of quality (Murdoch et al, 2000; Nygard and Strodard, 1998; Winte”
Ecological entrepreneurship: sustainable development in local communities through quality food production and local branding (2005, background): “Several writers have questioned the somewhat easy assumptions associated with spatial valorisation ; and the potentially unproblematised links between local foods, quality and sustainability (see Goodman, 2003; Winter, 2003).”
Shortening food supply chains: A means for maintaining agriculture close to urban areas? The case of the French metropolitan area of Paris ☆ (2013, background): “Some authors (Watts et al., 2005) have nevertheless shown that this link is not automatic, as the ‘‘local’’ alone is not a guarantee of ‘‘a strong turn to quality based production’’ (Winter, 2003, see also Ilbery et al., 2004).”
Niagara region farmers' markets: local food systems and sustainability considerations (2004, background): “The language of ‘relations’ and ‘geographies of regard’ (Hinrichs, 2003) and ‘social embeddedness’ (Winter, 2003; Sage, 2003) is critical to this aspect of local food systems function and objectives.”
Building Food Democracy: Exploring Civic Food Networks and Newly Emerging Forms of Food Citizenship (2012, background): “Being mainly producer-oriented, a consistent criticism is that the consumer perspective has been largely neglected (Goodman and DuPuis, 2002; Winter, 2003; holloway et al., 2007; Cox et al., 2008; Eden et al., 2008; tregear, 2011).”
