Why is it important?
This is important because we live in a world increasingly dominated by mass food production and global food chains, and the search for sustainable and locally sourced alternatives is crucial.
Perspectives
The findings reveal the importance of collective solutions for current food systems and the pivotal role of urban-rural synergies in shaping short food supply chains. The study highlights the benefits of advocating for sustainable food production practices and the need for direct and efficient food distribution in Romania. Ultimately, this research underscores the significance of AFNs in fostering sustainable food systems in post-communist Romania, providing valuable insights and recommendations for future initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable and locally sourced food.
