在日益商业化的世界中，对更优质、更健康食品的需求催生了美国食品体系中增长最快的部分之一：本地种植的食品。许多人认为，粮食系统的“重新本地化”将带来一系列公共利益，包括降低碳排放、增加当地经济活动以及消费者、农民和社区之间更紧密的联系。然而，当地食品供应链的结构可能并不总是能够产生这些感知到的好处。 《Growing Local》报告了一系列协调一致的案例研究的结果，旨在更深入、更细致地了解当地食品如何到达消费者以及当地食品供应链与主流超市供应链的比较。为了更好地了解当地食品如何到达销售点，Growing Local 使用案例研究方法，从多个社会、经济和环境维度严格比较五个大都市地区五种产品的当地和主流供应链，突出增长领域和潜在障碍。 “成长本地”为更好地了解当地食品生产的特点奠定了基础，并强调了当地食品供应链运营的现实。
In an increasingly commercialized world, the demand for better quality, healthier food has given rise to one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. food system: locally grown food. Many believe that "relocalization" of the food system will provide a range of public benefits, including lower carbon emissions, increased local economic activity, and closer connections between consumers, farmers, and communities. The structure of local food supply chains, however, may not always be capable of generating these perceived benefits. Growing Local reports the findings from a coordinated series of case studies designed to develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of how local food products reach consumers and how local food supply chains compare with mainstream supermarket supply chains. To better understand how local food reaches the point of sale, Growing Local uses case study methods to rigorously compare local and mainstream supply chains for five products in five metropolitan areas along multiple social, economic, and environmental dimensions, highlighting areas of growth and potential barriers. Growing Local provides a foundation for a better understanding of the characteristics of local food production and emphasizes the realities of operating local food supply chains.
