Local Food Systems in Old Industrial Regions: Concepts, Spatial Context, and Local Practices

By Neil Reid, Jay D. Gatrell, Paula S. Ross

Book Overview

Local food systems have the potential to provide residents with a supply of safe and nutritious food; such systems also have the potential to create much-needed employment opportunities. Interrogating the scale, scope, and economic context of local food systems in aging industrialized cities, this book provides a foundation for the development of new sub-fields in economic, urban, and agricultural geographies that focus on local food systems.
