Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of Guelph (Canada), 2009.

This thesis is an investigation of the barriers to localization of food systems based on a world systems perspective. The proliferation of a consolidated and global food network has strained natural resources, degraded ecosystems and their functions, compounded wealth and income disparity, compromised food security and eroded rural communities. This study heightens the understanding of why the globalization of food continues and opposing movements fail to translate into societal change. Addressing the research problem required focus group sessions with local stakeholders selected from within Guelph-Wellington County. Local stakeholders convened and identified barriers they perceived.

520 $a This thesis is an investigation of the barriers to localization of food systems based on a world systems perspective. The proliferation of a consolidated and global food network has strained natural resources, degraded ecosystems and their functions, compounded wealth and income disparity, compromised food security and eroded rural communities. This study heightens the understanding of why the globalization of food continues and opposing movements fail to translate into societal change. Addressing the research problem required focus group sessions with local stakeholders selected from within Guelph-Wellington County. Local stakeholders convened and identified barriers they perceived.
520 $a Institutional support for the global system, competitive advantage of global food and entrenched consumer loyalties were barriers consistent with world systems theory. In addition, stakeholders identified local organizational capacity, imbalanced supply and demand, transportation challenges and transitional risk and costs. Local action as well as high-level policy reform is required in a well-coordinated manner.
