Agri-Food Projects in Food Land Belts: Conditions for Success by Christopher R Bryant in CIACR - Lupine Publishers
While Green Belts go back in several countries principally to the end
of the Second World War [1], Food Land Belts are much more recent,
particularly from the end of the 20th Century onwards, following various
sanitary food crises which led to this desire to re- localize
foodstuff. What is interesting about Food Land Belts is that they
involve a multitude of Agri-food projects, linking agricultural
production directly to the consumers who sought healthy locally produced
foodstuff for which the source was known [2]. While on the one hand
they certainly help conserve agricultural land and farm activities, on
the other hand they provide a means of linking the countryside in
peri-urban areas around cities directly to the cities. This connection
comes from a) non-farm citizens who are concerned with having access to
healthy foodstuffs and who initiate the vast majority of initiatives to
relocate the sources of their foodstuffs so that they know the sources
of their foodstuffs and their location of production [3] and b) partly
from small groups of farmers, both leading to a renewal of the linkages
between cities and countryside [4]. However, it is clear that not all
projects have been successful while others have been very successful and
continue to be successful. What makes the difference? We tackle this
issue in the next section as it is very important both for farmers and
consumers and this research domain represents a field of research that
is becoming increasingly important in several countries around the
