Abstract: The food supply chain exacts an ecological toll from production to consumption. Using studies of producers’ motivations for environmentally sensitive production, we construct a framework connecting producers who participate in regional food networks (RFNs) to improved ecological resilience, examining ownership and control, social embeddedness, entrepreneurial opportunity, scale, and spatial and temporal distribution.
