SOME THEORETICAL ISSUES OF COMPARING URBAN AND RURAL AGRO-FOOD SYSTEMS AS A FACTOR OF LOCAL SUSTAINABLE DEYELOPMENT IN DIFFERENT REGIONS

Abstract

Although many widely known and applied criteria exist for making a generał comparison between countries, this is morę complicated for analysing agro-food systems and their importance for local sustainable development in different countries. In this rather explorative article we attemp to identify some conditions and criteria for making a comparative study of agro-food systems in different countries. Firstly, generał information on the agricultural sector in different European countries is analysed. Then, issues of studying agro-food systems are discussed within the context of the agro-food supply chain, where stakeholders, methods of data collection, initial data required and area of economic activity are identified. Finally, a summary of conditions and criteria for making a comparative study is presented. This paper is a contribution to creating a basis for international comparative research on urban and rural agro-food systems as a factor of local sustainable development.
