Abstract: The localization of food supply chains represents various realities, old and most innovative, named in several ways : short food supply chains, local food, etc. The purpose of this paper is to propose a theoretical framework enabled to all marketing channels relative to the localization phenomenon. From a literature review of the existing concepts and the economy of proximity applied to local food supply chains, we build the concept of « proximity supply chains » (I). It is then tested in three case studies representing a variety of marketing channels and products (II). The main findings of case studies demonstrate the value of the concept of « proximity supply chains » : on the one hand, it includes marketing channels that exceed the definition of short supply chains but which are a way to localize the food supply chains, and on the other hand, it highlights the role of intermediaries in this localization.
