摘要：

Actor network theory and supply chain management theory provide suggestive research directions for understanding regional agri-food networks. These theories claim that relationships based upon trust and cooperation are critical to the strength and vitality of the network. This means that exploring and detailing these relationships among the suppliers, producers, workers, processors, brokers, wholesalers, and retailers within specific regional geographies of these networks are critical for furthering cooperation and trust. Key areas of cooperation include resource sharing and apprenticeship programs. Employing food networks as a key unit of contextual analysis will deepen our understanding of how to enhance their resiliency and vibrancy. Important questions can be raised about the difference gender makes for farmers, brokers, entrepreneurs, and workers in local food networks. © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
