Abstract

If the researches about short food supply chain give interesting knowledge, the empirical validation of their durability is even necessary given the lack of available data on the subject. The paper seeks to contribute to this literature by providing a unique methodological framework based on a mixed-method analysis to apprehend the three pillars of sustainable development, taking into account its systemic nature. This framework is then tested empirically over twenty farms in short circuits: the combination of the collection of materials both quantitative and qualitative allows us to qualify and to give precisions about the sustainability of short circuits.
