“…Moreover, there is limited evidence regarding the wellbeing of farmers and consumers engaged in territorialized food systems, with only one study identified in the present rapid review suggested potential benefits among famers but not among consumers [ 36 ]. The lack of benefits among consumers was counterintuitive considering that territorialized food systems theoretically allow for the creation of a relation based on trust and social cohesion [ 43 , 46 ] and has previously been associated with psychological wellbeing [ 47 ]. Thus, additional research is needed to better understand and document how territorialized food systems may impact on the wellbeing and health of its many stakeholders.…”

“…Physical accessibility to food produced within territorialized food systems can in fact be a barrier to many individuals when, for example, a visit to a far-located farm stand is required to access such foods [ 36 , 49 ]. Additionally, although food price may not be systematically higher in territorialized food systems [ 36 ], it has been reported elsewhere that food in local chains tends to be less affordable than food in global chains [ 50 ] and are perceived as more expensive by non-users [ 46 ]. Results also suggested that healthy and sustainable food items were less available in territorialized food systems [ 38 ].…”

A Rapid Review of Territorialized Food Systems and Their Impacts on Human Health, Food Security, and the Environment

The global food system is facing multiple problems, including rising food insecurity, degrading environments, and an increased incidence of diet-related chronic diseases. International organizations are thus calling for a transition toward territorialized food systems to alleviate some of these challenges. Yet, limited evidence supporting the benefits of territorialized food systems is available. Our objective was to summarize the current body of literature on territorialized food systems and their impacts on human health, food security, and the environment using a rapid review methodology. Articles were retrieved from three databases and analyzed using keywords and inclusion criteria corresponding to territorialized food systems, environment, human health, and food security. Six relevant publications were identified. While this limited evidence suggests that territorialized food systems may have positive effects on all three dimensions, data are not consistent across publications. For example, territorialized food systems may contribute to improved diet quality, provide agroecosystem services, and contribute to food security. However, food produced within these food systems may have a higher carbon footprint and be less available than industrially produced food. This rapid review also highlights the siloed nature of the current research on territorialized food systems and emphasizes the need for more holistic and interdisciplinary research.

“…Consumption of local foods is motivated by a broad range of factors, including produce freshness, variety, and supporting the local economy ( 6 ). The rapid growth in the number of farmers’ markets between 1980 and 2014 in Quebec is a direct consequence of this increased interest in local foods ( 7 ).…”

Background Very few validated instruments, particularly screening tools applicable to large cohort studies, are available to assess the behavior of local food procurement. Objective To develop and validate a short questionnaire that measures local food procurement in a sample of French-speaking adults from Québec, Canada and to assess the association between local food procurement behavior and diet quality. Methods A comprehensive questionnaire developed previously to measure local food procurement (Locavore-Index [I]) was simplified through a series of steps that included face-validity, exploratory factor analysis and reliability testing (internal consistency). Construct validity of the resulting short Locavore-I-short form (Locavore-I-SF) was examined in a sample of 299 adults (85% women) from Québec City Metropolitan Community. Results The Locavore-I-SF comprises 12 questions that measure the frequency of short food supply chain use (self-production, farmers’ market and community supported agriculture box scheme) for three locally produced foods (carrot, tomato and lettuce) as well as the geographical origin of those three foods. The Locavore-I-SF, which is scored on a 12-point scale, had a high internal consistency (Cronbach alpha 0.74). The Locavore-I-SF scores were strongly correlated with the reference scores obtained from the Locavore-I from which it was developed (r = 0.84, p < 0.0001). Locavore-I-SF scores also correlated (r = 0.50, p < 0.0001) with the geographical origin of foods measured by pictures of food label taken by participants. Higher Locavore-I-SF scores were associated with behaviors consistent with eating local foods such as gardening (vs not gardening, mean (±SEM) difference 2.3 ± 0.4 points, p < 0.0001) and not being preoccupied by the foods’ appearance standards (vs being preoccupied, 1.4 ± 0.4 points, p = 0.0002). Finally, the Locavore-I-SF scores were weakly associated with the Healthy Eating Food Index-2019 score (Beta = 0.05 ± 0.02, p = 0.02). Conclusion The Locavore-I-SF, a short questionnaire based on three locally produced foods in Québec, measures the behavior local food procurement with good reliability and acceptable validity metrics.
