本文旨在参与两个关键的辩论：我们如何理解“本地”的方式，人们在当地经济中移动购买食物;这告诉我们什么食物规划和政策，以减少食物供应链的长度。文章以英国布赖顿和霍韦的老年人为焦点，认为食品购物的社会体验受到个人文化资本的影响，与他们在城市中旅行的方式有关。与此相反，食品计划的主导因素是将生产点和销售点本地化，显然没有考虑到消费者自己在生产和销售之间建立的相当不同的联系。文章的结论是，至少对于研究中的老年人来说，“本地”只不过是沿着购物经历连续体的空间指涉。
This article seeks to engage with two key debates: how we understand 'local' with respect to the ways in which people move around local economies to buy food; and what this tells us about food planning and policies to reduce the length of the food supply chain. Using a focus group of older people in Brighton and Hove, England, the article suggests that the social experience of food shopping is informed by individuals' cultural capital, allied to the ways in which they travel around the city. In contrast, food planning is dominated by imperatives to localize the points of both production and sale, apparently with scant regard for the rather different connections between production and sale made by the shoppers themselves. The article concludes that, for the older people in the study at least, 'local' is little more than a spatial referent along a continuum of shopping experiences.
