- Abstract
- Driven by food-related health and environmental concerns, governments, private actors and civil society are increasingly thinking about new ways to organize the food system. As a result, new networks are emerging that are characterized by a new type of gov-ernance and embeddedness. This paper discusses the need to consider the links between network characteristics , governance and embeddedness to gain a deeper understanding of interdependencies in food networks. Based on an exploratory analysis of nine local food networks in Flanders, Belgium a socio-spatial network approach is presented. This approach includes the diversity of actors and institutions involved in food networks and how they are interconnected.
