HOW DOES YOUR LOCAL FOOD GROW? - CAN WE

BUILD A LOCAL FOOD WEB INSTEAD OF A GLOBAL

AGRI-CHAIN? - Wayne Roberts looks at all the ways local

food webs are already growing,

"I now want to propose the idea of going beyond the one-way

and linear supply chain thinking of agribusiness, and make the

case instead for civic food webs — based on partnerships among local governments, local public and community institutions (universities and co-ops, for example), social movements, citizen groups (such as the marvelous Equiterre of Montreal), community-oriented businesses, neighborhood groups, and engaged individuals and families."
