Overview: In recent years organically-grown produce for local markets has become more popular with consumers, and re-localizing food chains has been put forward as a strategy for sustainable consumption due to the apparent benefits to local economies, communities, and environments. This paper aims to fill that knowledge gap and begin to understand the tensions and value conflicts inherent in developing new institutions for sustainable consumption. It examines the implications of a range of competing perspectives for sustainable consumption policy and practice, presenting new empirical research with an acclaimed local organic food initiative.
