SFSC definitions
| Sources | Definition | Proximity criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Marsden et al. (2000) | “a common characteristic, however, is the emphasis upon the type of relationship between the producer and the consumer in these supply chains, and the role of this relationship in constructing value and meaning, rather than solely the type of product itself” (p. 425) | Social Proximity |
| Parker (2005) | “(1) localised and using less food miles, or (2) more direct exchange using fewer intermediaries” (p. 2) | Social and Geographical Proximity |
| Ilbery and Maye (2005) | “the crucial characteristic of SFSCs is that foods which reach the final consumer have been transmitted through an Supply Chain that is ‘embedded' with value-laden information concerning the mode of production, provenance, and distinctive quality assets of the product” (pp. 825-826) | Social Proximity |
| Kneafsey et al. (2013) | “The foods involved are identified by, and traceable to a farmer. The number of intermediaries between farmer and consumer should be ‘minimal' or ideally nil” (p. 13) | Social Proximity |
| European Union, Reg.1305/13 | “a supply chain involving a limited number of economic operators, committed to cooperation, local economic development, and close geographical and social relations between producers, processors and consumers” (art.2) | Social and Geographical Proximity |
