Abstract

Many communities are interested in acquiring healthy food without pesticides and chemical preservatives. At the same time, they want to protect local production and cultural characteristics. In this sense, the academy starts to discuss a change in food supply chains and called of Short Agri-Food Chains. These networks have proven to be a reliable substitute for conventional supply chains creating empowerment from family farmers. The present study investigated the role of food banks’ on the structural basis of short food supply chains. The results pointed out that food banks may be an important instrument for consolidating these supply chains contributing to the development of Family Farm and Small producer.
