Abstract: In 2011, the DRAAF and Region Council of Limousin conducted an additional survey to the Agricultural Census with 507 of the 1422 producers involved in the short food supply chain (SFSC) in the region. The economic data, compared with the ones of the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN), show that the farms using local networks are more successful than those not using them. Developing an inductive approach, the economic and fi nancial analysis of this performance gap is completed by empirical material related to the social and geographical dynamics of the SFSC networks in Limousin. It shows that the development and the performance of the SFSC networks would be favoured when local producers and consumers belong to the social class. These networks could therefore appear as an expression of the rural gentrifi cation process.
