Robert Sommer and Carla Fjeld

Review of Policy Research, 1983, vol. 2, issue 3, 455-464

Abstract: Food cooperatives have played a vanguard role in consumer protection through (a) information and education, (b) selective merchandising and boycotts, and (c) political lobbying. While education and selective merchandising benefit primarily their own membership, the political efforts have benefited all consumers.
