“…Quanto maior a gama de canais possível para o produtor se inserir, menores são os riscos de perdas de produções (Camara & Andreatta, 2021), assim como é menor a dependência gerada por um único canal. A participação em um tipo de mercado não restringe a inserção em outros, dado que é comum o envolvimento dos produtores simultaneamente em diferentes canais de comercialização (Wilkinson, 2008;Schneider, 2016;Schoolman et al, 2021).…”

A inserção dos agricultores nos mercados pode variar desde uma simples troca de excedentes a formas mais organizadas e complexas, construídas a partir de processos de interação social. Essas diferentes formas de troca de produtos são denominadas canais de comercialização, que se caracterizam por distintas formas de interação dos produtores com os mercados. Este trabalho tem por objetivo explorar e compreender as condições que podem estar relacionadas à participação dos produtores de frutas e hortaliças do Vale do Jaguari em diferentes canais de comercialização. A operacionalização da pesquisa se deu por aplicação de questionários junto aos 67 produtores que se declararam produtores de frutas e/ou hortaliças. Os dados foram analisados com o auxílio do software SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) 21, utilizando técnicas de estatística descritiva e teste qui-quadrado. Observou-se que cada município apresenta diferentes formas de inserção dos fruticultores e horticultores nos mercados. Em Jaguari, o mercado territorial se destaca pela presença da Cooperativa Agrária S. José Ltda, enquanto em Nova Esperança do Sul os mercados de proximidade são mais representativos. O tipo de produto também interfere no acesso a um ou mais mercados. Comparativamente, em Nova Esperança do Sul, as relações comerciais são caracterizadas por vínculos interpessoais baseados na confiança e amizade entre os indivíduos, principalmente em pequenas comunidades; em Jaguari, a maioria das transações é baseada em valores monetários (preço), mas com forte ênfase na importância de questões de proveniência e reputação, que foram sendo construídas ao longo do tempo.

“…A Tabela 2 apresenta a frequência absoluta (Camara & Andreatta, 2021). Por outro lado, a inserção nos diferentes canais de comercialização tangencia diversos fatores (Schoolman et al, 2021;Cicia, Furno & Del Giudice, 2021), entre eles, as condições de logística.…”

“…Generally, SFSCs benefit gender equality in agri-food systems, where a greater engagement of women in sales through SFSCs may be noticed (Malak-Rawlikowska et al, 2019) (Lamine, 2015;Sellitto et al, 2018;Malak-Rawlikowska et al, 2019;Schoolman et al, 2021). However, when it comes to production methods, unless producers are focused on organic food production and landscape conservation (Kraus et al, 2014), previous research does not show a clear link between local food and sustainable farming practices (Sellitto et al, 2018;Schoolman et al, 2021). Food miles is an indicator used to measure the distance that food travels from where it was produced, to the end-consumer (Malak-Rawlikowska et al, 2019).…”

PurposeIntermediate short food supply chains (SFSC) have been presented as a possible solution to unsustainable global food supply chains. There is currently a knowledge gap about intermediate SFSC. Thus, this review synthesizes the available literature to identify prominent themes and their main considerations.Design/methodology/approachThis research is based on a systematic literature review including peer-reviewed journal articles until December 2021. Inductive data coding resulted in the identification of four themes related to intermediate SFSC.FindingsThe identified themes illustrate the complex landscape intermediate SFSCs operate in and focus on the key relationships within these supply chains. The established relationships have implications for the governance of intermediate SFSCs. The organization of intermediate SFSCs affects numerous sustainability indicators.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research should focus on the position intermediate SFSCs have in food systems and the roles intermediaries have in intermediate SFSCs. There is furthermore an opportunity for researchers to investigate different types of intermediaries and explore the factors influencing them.Originality/valueCreating sustainable food supply chains is one of the major societal challenges of today. The current state of the art suggests that intermediate SFSCs could play an important role in achieving this. So far, this area is underdeveloped and this review highlights knowledge gaps in the literature and suggestions for a future research agenda are proposed.

“…The willingness of some urban consumers to pay premium prices for local food and services has created niche markets for alternative farmers (Woods 2012 ). Researchers have recognised the creation and evolution of localised food supply chains as a key dimension in the new rural development (Robinson 2017 ; Schoolman et al 2021 ).…”

Neoliberal peri-urban economies and the predicament of dairy farmers: a case study of the Illawarra region, New South Wales

Rural Australia has been experiencing dramatic agricultural restructuring. A major contributor to this in some areas is peri-urban and rural residential developments, and amenity/lifestyle developments, including those associated with the inflow of urban middle-class groups into rural areas. These processes are intertwined with neoliberal trends in agri-food governance, and have complex effects on farming. However, there is a lack of farm-level studies that explore how professional farmers have been interacting and co-existing with urban/suburban development while also undertaking agricultural intensification and innovation. This study aims to examine how residential and amenity/lifestyle developments have unfolded in the Illawarra region, New South Wales, and come to influence and interact with local dairy farmers who are also managing the consequences of industry restructuring particularly from 2000. Based on semi-structured interviews, this study shows that with their proximity to Sydney, Illawarra dairy farms are influenced by deregulated planning systems, large-scale residential development, amenity driven demand for rural land, and the amenity/lifestyle economy. These processes bring farmers commercial opportunities and drive farmers to form new social and economic relationships with land buyers and investors. However, it has been increasingly difficult for farmers to acquire land for farming locally. They are also subjected to the expectations and demands of new landholders, including in relation to farm externalities and animal welfare. Farmers have to transform their production systems to fit into this context. The above factors together generate a form of multifunctional rural space.
