Le développe ment par allèle de travau x aca démiqu es et d’a cti vit és administrées par des organisations gouvernementales ou non-gouvernementales, condu it à un amalgame de théories et de pratiques diverses en matière de produits locaux. L’objectif de cet article est d’explorer les réseaux et les discours consernant la production et la consommation de produ its locau x en Gran de-Br etagn e. L’an alys e, entre autre fond ée sur des inte rviews approfondies avec des représentants de l’industrie agro-alimentaire et d’organisations de base, révèle des differences dans le language et la conceptualisation du “local” qui influencent le rôle joué par les produits locaux aux niveaux économique et diététique. L’article s’achève sur l’importance et la priorité à donner aux politiques du secteur publique qui soutiennent les producteurs et entreprises de produits locaux, à la fois e n milieu rural et urbain. Inte rest in an alternat ive food economy has been growing over the last deca de. Paralle l de ve lopments in academia an d the acti viti es of gover nment and non- governme nt organisations have led to a fusion of theory and practice under an umbrella of local food. The purpose of this article is to explore the networks and discourses that surround the production and consumption of local food in the UK. This is achieved through the analysis of a series of in-depth interviews with industry and grassroots organisations set against a background of consumer opinion deriving from focus groups. The analysis demonstrates that differences in the language and conceptualisation of local reveal different roles for local food in the economy and in the diet. The article concludes that policies to support public sector procurement through a hinterland of small-scale producer marketing and processing enterprises should be a priority in both urban and rural areas.
