Cover Story: Alternative food networks represent local food systems and short supply chain networks that are alternatives to global food systems. These networks are often developed within rural–urban interfaces, connecting farmers localized in settlements adjacent to the urban centers with consumers proposing access to fresh, organic and healthy food in cities. AFNs arise from different motivations, on a top-down as well as a bottom-up principle. While considered as innovation themselves, AFNs are a source of various organizational, and process innovations, with the potential to be replicated in space. These networks demonstrate different spatial arrangements, link different types of spatial actors, involve consumers to various extents and utilize imitated, or tailor-made coordination and managerial approaches.
