Empirical Studies of the Social Significance of Local Food Systems:Issues Concerning Social Relations and Social Justice.

近年来，作为全球化的结果，“本地生产本地消费”、CSA（社区支持农业）、AMAP（协会pour le maintien d'une农业Paysanne）和“巡回法庭”（较短的分销网络）等地方食品运动在国内外蔓延。在西方国家，对当地食品系统的重新评估也取得了进展。在这项研究中，基于对欧洲和美国当地食品运动趋势的调查以及来自日本各地的案例研究，讨论了安全与安心，安全和环境以外的问题。特别是，关于食物的社会关系问题，以及与支持食物和农业系统的劳动相关的社会正义问题，我们进行了研究，并验证了日本当地食物系统的重要性。

In recent years, as a result of globalization, local food movements such as"Local Production for Local Consumption", CSA(Community Supported Agriculture), AMAP(Association pour le maintien d'une Agriculture Paysanne), and "Circuit Court"(shorter distribution networks), have spread both at home and abroad. In the Western countries, too, a revaluation of local food systems has also been progressing.In this study, based on a survey on the trends of local food movements in Europe and the U. S. A. and case studies from around Japan, issues other than safety and peace of mind, security and the environment were addressed. In particular, issues of social relationships concerning food, and social justice relating to labor which supports food and agricultural systems were examined and we verified the significance of the local food system in Japan.
