The aim of this article is to analyze how the actors participating in short food supply circuits reconstructed their practices in the context of the pandemic in Argentina. Based on the analysis of experiences in different geographical areas, heterogeneous processes were identified. This diversity is related to agroecological characteristics, population density, and the level of resources of producers and consumers, among other factors. The pandemic has increased the sales based on geographical proximity in several of the cases analyzed; in others, particularly those linked to tourism, it led to the search of alternatives based on new networks and/or the strengthening of previous ones, using virtual connections that were enhanced in the situation studied. This reconfiguration is associated to a redefinition of the actors involved in short food supply circuits, especially the strengthening of hybrid intermediaries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
