Editorial: Sustainable food networks: chains of values and food transitions

Abstract

[EN] Sustainable Food Networks (SFNs) are developing alternative value chain arrangements that drive agroecological transitions and reshape food systems in urban and rural territories. These networks challenge the hegemonic corporate food system by promoting localized, fair, and inclusive food supply models. However, despite their potential, they have received limited attention through the lens of economic geography and related interdisciplinary perspectives. Urban agriculture and agri-food systems, broadly defined to include interactions across peri-urban and rural territories, offer key contexts for the development of SFNs.
