Revealing the hidden geography of alternative food networks: The travelling concept of farmers' markets

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Alternative food networks in post-socialist settings are often studied using concepts and analytical tools developed in the Anglo-American context. As a result, the findings tend to replicate and confirm rather than challenge and extend the extant knowledge and theorisations. Based on a recent study of farmers&apos; markets in the Czech capital Prague, the paper claims that viewing these &apos;from the periphery&apos; produces novel insights complementing those garnered in researching them in the West. In the context of earlier alternative food initiatives, the boom of farmers&apos; markets, which Prague experienced in the early 2010s, was unparalleled. In less than 24 months, 41 farmers&apos; markets were established in and around the city. Focusing methodologically on the discourse of the organisers of farmers&apos; markets and theoretically on the complex hidden geography underlying the farmers&apos; markets&apos; boom, we are able to unpick the intricacy and paradoxical nature inherent in this development. While acknowledging the farmers&apos; markets embeddedness in the local context, we argue that a more comprehensive understanding of farmers&apos; markets requires engagement with a flow of ideas and know-how transcending the locality. The ensuing type of farmers&apos; markets is a result of interactions among different travelling concepts as well as of their encounter with the specificities of the local post-socialist context. We argue that the fact that these concepts were not necessarily concordant with each other and also insufficiently adapted to the local context had a profound effect on Prague farmers&apos; markets&apos; boom.
