Abstract

We explore the role of distance in the food supply systems of the Rabat agglomeration (Morocco) and the central forces explaining the persistence of peri-urban agriculture. Our qualitative and quantitative data show that for some perishable products, only spatial proximity affects trade with the city. Distance does not affect the number of operators because multiple actors participate after the wholesale market node.
