当地食品运动被一些人吹捧为使我们的食品系统变得更加健康、公正和可持续的极其有效的方式。其他人则批评这场运动与其说是对现状的挑战，不如说是一种容易拉拢的支持，为富裕的消费者提供了另一套选择。在本文中，我们分析了本地食品运动中的三个不同的子运动，以个人为中心的子运动，以系统为中心的子运动和以社区为中心的子运动。这些运动可以在任何特定的运动中结合起来，也可以在任何特定组织或个人活动家的目标中结合起来，但它们彼此之间却有很大的不同，它们来自于对食物、人和地方的不同概念。我们认为，大多数针对当地食品的批评实际上是针对以个人为中心的子运动，这是最符合当前的工业食品系统，也许并不奇怪，收到最主流的关注。此外，我们认为，虽然每个运动都有自己的优势和劣势，但以社区为中心的子运动最有可能从根本上改变全球粮食系统。
The local food movement has been touted by some as a profoundly effective way to make our food system become more healthy, just, and sustainable. Others have criticized the movement as being less a challenge to the status quo and more an easily co-opted support offering just another set of choices for affluent consumers. In this paper, we analyze three distinct sub-movements within the local food movement, the individual-focused sub-movement, the systems-focused sub-movement, and the community-focused sub-movement. These movements can be combined within any particular campaign or within the goals of any particular organization or individual activist, but they are nevertheless quite different from each other, and come out of different conceptualizations of what food, people, and locality are. We argue that most of the critiques leveled against local food are actually directed against the individual-focused sub-movement, which is most compatible with the current industrial food system, and perhaps not surprisingly receives the most mainstream attention. Further, we argue that while each movement has its own strengths and weaknesses, it is the community-focused sub-movement that has the most potential to radically transform the global food system.
