Local food systems such as farmers' markets, community supported agriculture, farm to school programs, and food hubs have proliferated rapidly in the United States during the last twenty years. Yet their distribution is highly uneven, with some areas enjoying a great number compared to others with almost none. This project is the first to gather descriptive data on the rise of local food systems across the United States. It then considers two theoretical explanations for their rise and presents the first national county level quantitative analysis of local food systems in the United States. Standard realist accounts emphasize the role of structural economic and political forces that marginalize small producers and consumers and harm the environment, causing them to resist by mobilizing local food system alternatives. Constructivist approaches instead emphasize the effects of rationalization (the accumulation of knowledge, meanings, and purposes) and organization (the establishment of goal oriented social ties) on the institutionalization of local food systems. Increased county level exposure to indicators of both realist and constructivist processes is associated with higher measures of local food systems. However, multivariate regression indicates mixed support for the realist approach and strong support for a constructivist explanation. Finally, findings from nationwide county level analyses suggest that state level factors significantly impact the institutionalization of local food systems. I explore the institutionalization of a crucial case, local food systems in Iowa, and compare it to other cases. I conclude that when processes of rationalization are linked tightly with processes of organization, we are likelier to see the institutionalization of local food systems. I find that the constructivist approach offers a more complete picture of the emergence and expansion of local food systems, and that the process of local food system institutionalization deserves a place at the core of future analyses.
