Abstract: [paper in French]This paper describes the design and implementation of an experimental device aiming to;supply local fruits and vegetables to food aid recipients in the area of Montpellier in France. It reports;the process that led various actors, including one of the authors of the paper, to get involved in the project;and shows that the market device they established was a result of their expectations and constraints. The authors then show that the short food supply chain that has been implemented is characterized by;small modifications of the work in the food aid centres of the Restos du Coeur and by an important;organizational work undertook by commercial intermediaries. One can finally see in this experiment;a hybridization of some innovating organizing activities, intended to relocate food, with some existing;organizing activities, marked by commercial intermediation, product homogeneity and low prices.
