An alternative agrifood network (AAFN) can be regarded as a local food system that is purposely attempted to put into practice political–ethical concerns staying out of and creatively reshaping conventional agrifood chains. Under social, knowledge and learning perspectives, we discuss some issues for a regional agrifood breeding environment that supports configurations of many different AAFNs as well as manages knowledge flows within a local community in an agrifood regional area. Moreover, we present challenges, constraints, and organisational solutions for AAFNs, based on a case study we conducted in the District of High Quality Productions in Sibari, (Calabria, Italy).

Abstract
An alternative agrifood network (AAFN) can be regarded as a local food system that is purposely attempted to put into practice political–ethical concerns staying out of and creatively reshaping conventional agrifood chains. Under social, knowledge and learning perspectives, we discuss some issues for a regional agrifood breeding environment that supports configurations of many different AAFNs as well as manages knowledge flows within a local community in an agrifood regional area. Moreover, we present challenges, constraints, and organisational solutions for AAFNs, based on a case study we conducted in the District of High Quality Productions in Sibari, (Calabria, Italy).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
