Abstract: The “local food” movement may realize economic, social, and environmental benefits through integrated regional food networks (RFNs), enhancing long-term opportunities for rural entrepreneurship and resilience at diverse production and consumption scales. Policy support for RFNs may play a role in economic development and resilience by diversifying rural economies.
