http://orgprints.org/6180/ Local food supply chain: a case of rural food processing firms and catering business in Finland Forsman, Sari Paananen, Jaana Markets and trade Processing, packaging and transportation The subject of this paper is the integration of food production and processing, distribution, and consumption on local markets in rural areas. We approach this integration from the point of view of an alternative food supply chain, a local food system as an example. The data were gathered through semistructured interviews with 12 entrepreneurs and 9 representatives of institutional food service units and restaurants in Eastern Finland.
