      abstract = {A series of coordinated case studies compares the  structure, size, and performance of local food supply  chains with those of mainstream supply chains. Interviews  and site visits with farms and businesses, supplemented  with secondary data, describe how food moves from farms to  consumers in 15 food supply chains. Key comparisons between  supply chains include the degree of product  differentiation, diversification of marketing outlets, and  information conveyed to consumers about product origin. The  cases highlight differences in prices and the distribution  of revenues among supply chain participants, local  retention of wages and proprietor income, transportation  fuel use, and social capital creation.},
