Coordination and Crop Planning in Local Food Systems: Considerations for Local Aggregators, Coordinators, and Distributors

The information provided in this publication could be useful for organizations working with networks of agricultural producers to coordinate, aggregate, distribute, and market local foods. Some of these organizations could be food hubs, producers’ cooperatives, and any other type of organization coordinating the supply and demand of local foods. Some of the principles covered in this publication could also be useful for farmers’ market managers and planners. Because these organizations could be for-profit or nonprofit, we will refer to them simply as “organizations” in this publication.
