From a geographical perspective, AFNs produce and sustain new relationship between places, like rural and urban areas, that are reconnected by relationships between producers and consumers. Dansero and Pettenati explore Piedmont AFNs from three perspectives. First, it analyses the spatial distribution of AFNs in the Piedmont region, highlighting their mostly urban nature. Second, they interpret them as potential practices of re-territorialisation of food systems, opposing to the general de-territorialisation affecting them at any scale. Understanding this re-territorialisation means to move beyond the idea of a simple relocalization of food networks, exploring the many dimensions of the connections between food, people and places. Third, they use proximity as a theoretical lens for analysing AFNs, focusing on its spatial, relational and cognitive dimensions.

Abstract

From a geographical perspective, AFNs produce and sustain new relationship between places, like rural and urban areas, that are reconnected by relationships between producers and consumers. Dansero and Pettenati explore Piedmont AFNs from three perspectives. First, it analyses the spatial distribution of AFNs in the Piedmont region, highlighting their mostly urban nature. Second, they interpret them as potential practices of re-territorialisation of food systems, opposing to the general de-territorialisation affecting them at any scale. Understanding this re-territorialisation means to move beyond the idea of a simple relocalization of food networks, exploring the many dimensions of the connections between food, people and places. Third, they use proximity as a theoretical lens for analysing AFNs, focusing on its spatial, relational and cognitive dimensions.
