Largely in the context of developed market economies, notions of 'relocalization' and the 'quality turn' have figured prominently in discussions about these 'alternative' food geographies. Emerging empirical research, however, is now challenging some of the assumptions embedded within such discussions. This book critically reflects on the great diversity of debat.
