Description

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) commissioned this study to provide a broad picture of the market potential in various local food supply chains within the province. This exploratory study examines various aspects of local food supply chains in Alberta, as exemplified by saskatoons, potatoes and lamb. For each product we considered mainstream supply chains that sell to major retail outlets, intermediated supply chains that involve intermediaries such as buying clubs, bakeries, restaurants or other businesses that sell to consumers, and direct supply chains where the producer sells directly to the consumer.
