University of Wisconsin, Madison; US Department of Agriculture
2025
To provide farmers market leaders and researchers with new insights about farmers market attendees, given shifting consumer preferences and demographics, we conducted a nearly nationally representative survey in the United States. Among the 5,141 respondents, 38.51% reported attending farmers markets infrequently (i.e., five or fewer times per year), and 41.78% reported attending with more regularity (i.e., six or greater times per year). In combination, this equated to 80.30% of the entire samp

There is an international consensus that Africans consume less fruits and vegetables (FV), and animal products (AP) than they need for adequate nutrition, and that production and supply chains of these products are constrained. Yet, in this paper, we show that despite these problems, there is a lot of dynamism in demand and supply of these nutrient-dense products in Africa: (1) macro evidence of “domestic supply booms"—with supply growing as fast as or faster than in Asia and Latin America; (2)

With the emergence of modern food supply chains, there has been a noticeable decline in consumer trust and an increase in information asymmetry. Short food supply chains, including farmers' markets, offer potential solutions to these issues. Currently, farmers' markets are primarily found in the United States and the European Union, and their impact on sustainability has gained significant attention. However, the relevance of this traditional approach within modern supply chains remains largely

Interview, workshop, focus group transcripts, and survey data provide insights into how TRM stakeholders, experts, and users conceive the functions and values of the UK market sector. In particular, the dataset puts forward the perspective of TRM users, which have not been generally studied in such numbers.

These cities suffer from urbanisation challenges, lack of planning and services needed to cope with growth, which has resulted in spatial inequalities and inequitable access to basic necessities and amenities. With the current outbreak of COVID-19, various approaches are taken to prevent the spread of the virus, contain widespread transmission, and flatten the curves of infections.

Many marketplaces around the world closed down or changed fundamentally in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. In this paper, we reflect on the effects of the crisis on Dutch marketplaces from two interdependent analytical levels. From a ground level, we illustrate their ‘temporary death’ as public spaces and reflect on their changing social dynamics. From an organisational level, we analyse traders’ responses to the institutional measures taken to combat the crisis.
