Abstract

The development of collective actions, such as the creation of platforms, helps to sustain local, short food supply chains by connecting small-scale producers with customers who require large-volume processing and a variety of customer types, such as catering companies and individuals. Producers' commitment to creating and developing these meta-organisations is an important issue. Some research highlights the essential role played by third parties in structuring a network's collective actions. By studying three platforms, we demonstrate how the various roles played by third parties — architect, conductor and guardian — facilitate producer engagement.
