Module 4 introduces learners to local food systems, short food supply chains, partnerships, cooperatives, and localized food distribution planning.
The module follows four main units:
1. What are Local Food Systems
2. Typologies of Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs)
3. Building Local Partnerships and Cooperatives
4. Planning a Localized Food Distribution Strategy
Learners explore how local food systems reduce the distance between producers and consumers, strengthen rural resilience, support local identity, and create more transparent and sustainable food relationships.
