（一）上海都市圈易腐食品生产流通体系研究（一）1996年对上海都市圈三大批发市场——上北、小安、江桥的易腐食品生产流通体系进行了研究，发现：A)存在多种易腐食品的收集体系。b)市场在决定产品价格方面起着关键作用。c)经营免费经济寄售的机构越来越多。在素安私人食品市场，商人的佣金比其他市场低，而且不是固定的，而是可以调整的。2)目前上海食品市场的易腐食品零售市场体系分为几个小市场。调查对象为已转型为大型超市的巴县食品分公司。在市场上，易腐食品的种类从200种增加到5000种。受浦东区正在进行的大型土地开发项目的影响，上海郊区农用地转为城市用地（如住房）的情况有所增加。1996年9月3日至4日召开了“发展上海和大阪都市圈农业经济”会议。讨论了几个主题（总共17个）。会议主席是大阪府立大学的泽田新一教授。余钜生教授、小林宏教授、大西敏夫教授、藤田武宏教授等著名学者对1995-6年上海易腐食品生产与配送系统研究成果作了重点介绍。有人建议，都市农业在保护环境、提供更容易进入绿色地区和在短时间内满足特定地区对易腐食品的需要方面发挥重要作用。少
