Abstract

This article presents various questions relating to local food systems from a public economics perspective. Issues dealing with supply and demand are presented, followed by a few points concerning possible local policies. It highlights the fact that reinforcing local farming can be seen as an option for improving the resilience of food systems, although it is not a panacea. In particular, the proliferation of food labels limits the possibility of developing specific labels for new local foods.
