“…Often-described effects are learning about cooking, eating and meal planning, also to avoid food waste (Andreatta et al, 2008;J. N. Cohen et al, 2012;Gorland, 2002;Hayden and Buck, 2012;Lutz and Schachinger, 2013). In addition, we find only few other learning fields, e.g.…”

“…• Community-supported agriculture (CSA), which represents partnerships between a group of consumers who pay up front for a share of the annual harvest and a farmer who supplies produce for the shareholders on a weekly basis (Hayden and Buck, 2012;Moellers and Birhala, 2014;Perez et al, 2003);…”

“…In CSAs, financing/ contracting (pre-payment for a year's use of the share) and agreements on the supply of agricultural produce (all year round on a weekly basis) are very specific and elementary to the CSA concept in general. Describing the concept of CSA, both of these elements are often repeated (Hayden and Buck, 2012;Moellers and Birhala, 2014;Perez et al, 2003). Compared to the domains of financing/contracting and produce, for the CSA concept it is not constructing, whether the consumers do assistance work on the field or not (Janssen, 2010), or how the knowledge transfer is designed, or whether the consumers can use tools from the farmer.…”

In the recent literature, Alternative Food Networks (AFN) topics of consumer-producer interactions (CPI). The present study aims (1) to develop an analytical framework relying on six CPI domains and (2) to apply it to investigate CPI effects on consumers' learning about and appreciation of agriculture. We conducted 26 guided interviews with consumers and producers of the three most frequent AFN types in Germany: community-supported agriculture (CSA), food coops, and self-harvest gardens. The results show that AFN participation enhances consumers' learning about food (seasonality, cooking/nutrition, housekeeping aspects) and agricultural production (farmers' perspectives, cultivation). Our results show that consumer's learning is influenced by certain CPI domains

“…As activism promoting alternative food systems spreads globally, advocates assert that the most personal and spatially proximate relationships between consumers and producers advance the public good by increasing consumer scrutiny of producers' resource stewardship practices, and thereby nurturing some shared body of local ecological knowledge (Hayden and Buck 2012). Nonetheless, even if a spatially circumscribed pattern of production-consumption might be desirable in some respects, local exclusivity is not always practical, and tradeoffs inevitably arise at other socio-ecological scales (Sonnino and Marsden 2006;Tregear 2011;Slocum and Saldanha 2013).…”

Harvesting a knowledge commons: collective action, transparency, and innovation at the Portland Fish Exchange

While localist visions of alternative food systems advocate for the expansion of local ecological knowledge through more proximate producerconsumer relationships, globalized seafood supply-demand chains persist. Moving beyond this dichotomy, commons scholars recognize that collective action among resource users at the local level can shape cross-scalar producer relations with government and more capitalized firms operating in regional and global markets. In the case of the New England groundfishery, a quasi-public fish auction not only transformed the scalar, logistical, and financial parameters of harvester-buyer relationships, it altered the production and use of local knowledge among some harvesters, and their technological choices. Resulting markets offer potential benefits that extend to broader publics, by increasing the monetary value and experimental development of a knowledge commons. Qualitative analysis of field data shows that with new market transparency, fish are no longer valued as an undifferentiated commodity, but as a variety of products with individually nuanced price structures. Displacement of local seafood buyers incurred some shoreside job losses, but fishers on smaller, owner-operated boats in multi-generational fishing harbours benefit particularly from new opportunities compared to larger, fleet boats due to different labour relations, allocations of decision-making responsibilities, observational contexts, and associated information flows. Implications for the mobilization of knowledge-action linkages to influence formal resource management arenas merit further research. 156Jennifer F. Brewer of Geography, Planning, and Environment. In addition to many anonymous informants, I wish to thank past and present staff of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance and members of the Fish Locally Collaborative for building a big tent, asking hard questions, seeking informed solutions, and maintaining a deeply integrative and committed spirit. Thank you also to the editors and anonymous reviewers, for their insightful and supportive comments.
