Market Access for Local Food through the Conventional Food Supply Chain (2011, neutral): “A second school of thought focuses on “locality food” looking into “locality” as value added for a broader market, and distinguishing the concept from “local food” that focuses on geographical dimensions (Murdoch, et al. 2000; Renting, et al., 2003).”
Drivers of local food consumption: A comparative study (2015, background): “Further, several studies suggest that purchasing local food has the potential for direct interactions with producers (Hunt, 2007, Murdoch et al., 2000), and feeling connected with the local environment (Autio et al., 2013).”
Understanding Alternative Food Networks: Exploring the Role of Short Food Supply Chains in Rural Development (2003, background): “The term alternative food networks (AFNs) is here used as a broad embracing term to cover newly emerging networks of producers, consumers, and other actors that embody alternatives to the more standardised industrial mode of food supply (Murdoch et al, 2000).”
Governance in the Global Agro-food System: Backlighting the Role of Transnational Supermarket Chains (2005, background): “It is argued that there is a ‘‘growing number of discerning consumers’’ who are ‘‘demanding ‘quality’ products’’ ( Murdoch et al., 2000 ) and who are voting with their feet and wallet by not shopping at a particular retailer or boycotting a particular product.”
Conceptualizing Integrated Rural Tourism (2007, background): “The unique socio-cultural characteristics and identities, which are embedded in place, help to shape relationships and networks and create psycho-emotional bonds between the individual and the place by providing repertories of shared values, symbols and traditions (Hinrichs 2000; Murdoch 2000; Kneaf”
Understanding and representing 'place' in health research: a relational approach. (2007, background): “Murdoch et al. (2000) discuss the relevance of Actor Network Theory and Conventions Theory to the interpretation of agri-business and the food industry.”
Local Embeddedness and Rural Entrepreneurship: Case-Study Evidence from Cumbria, England (2006, background): “…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; Winter, 2003).”
Quality Food, Public Procurement, and Sustainable Development: The School Meal Revolution in Rome (2009, background): “…four main types of quality conventions (and associated `worlds of justification') have been given analytical prominence (Morgan et al, 2006; Murdoch et al, 2000; Renard, 2003): . commercial or market conventions, which define quality through market lawsö or, in simple terms, through the…”
Are Local Food Chains More Sustainable than Global Food Chains? Considerations for Assessment (2016, background): “The “local” has been frequently associated with sustainable and healthy production and consumption patterns [5,6], fostering the growth of product niches and allowing “weak” actors in the system—in particular, farmers—to challenge “big food” with alternative principles, values, organizational patter”
The quality of sustainability: Agroecological partnerships and the geographic branding of California winegrapes (2007, background): “…for it has the potential to organize linkages among various forces in agrofood systems: rising expectations among affluent discerning consumers (Murdoch et al., 2000), food scares and consumer food safety concerns (FitzSimmons and Goodman, 1998; Stassart and Whatmore, 2003), the presence…”
Alternative food networks as “market agencements”: Exploring their multiple hybridities (2016, background): “The case of Murdoch, Marsden, and Banks’ article (Murdoch et al., 2000) illustrates this tendency quite well.”
