“…Compared to global value chains, local markets can offer fewer layers of intermediation and more flexibility for producers . They may allow the use of alternative, lower cost, and more accessible certification schemes such as participatory guarantee systems (PGS) for organic production (Seufert, ), “South–South” fair trade schemes (Ballet, Renard, & Carimentrand, ; Doherty, Smith, & Parker, ; Jaffee, Kloppenburg Jr., & Monroy, ), and the mobilisation of a wider array of product–territory links that are more likely to be understood and valued by local consumers . Apart from nationally registered appellations of origin, other ways that provenance can be valorised in local networks include through collective marks or trademarks held by territorially‐based producer associations, direct producer–consumer links (including fairs, festivals, and specialty stores), and localised processing of origin‐linked raw materials.…”
