What type of business relationship does your local restaurant have with its local farmers and food producers?This article explores the inter-organisational relationship between food service provider and local producer as they carry out their activity along the local food supply chain. In order to determine whether a collaborative relationship exists between these actors of the food chain, the variables communication, cooperation, balance of power and trust were examined in turn. Each were looked at as the actors conducted their activities throughout three processes of the food chain, sourcing produce, distributing produce and delivering produce to the end customer. Is there an imbalance of power between these two actors? Is there a good level of understanding and trust with one another? Is there cooperation in order to overcome the challenges that the larger wholesale manufacturers and supply chains present? Lastly, is their regular communication with one another through the stages of "farm to fork". Can a local food supply chain be successful?
Autorenporträt
Having grown up in a rural area of Ireland, my passion for local produce and knowledge of its support network or lack thereof developed with age. I have a strong interest in innovative local produce and will continue to offer my encouragement and support so that local producers may thrive in a Market bullied by mass production.
