Menno van Ginkel:
"The vision of sustainable nutrition, regional food economies and short supply chains may be realized via decentralized food networks. According to McNamara (2016), decentralized food networks “would democratize the food industry by dispersing small food hubs across the globe, bringing food production to regional communities. Minimizing the gap between consumers and producers is a critical step towards an environmentally and economically sustainable food system”.
Decentralized networks, such as the open source movement, often rely on a combination of volunteers creating community wealth and business activities in markets. “We also see it in the open source software revolution where there is dozens, hundreds of programs that rely upon communities volunteering to create new and interesting code, often in collaboration with proprietary software companies. So it is not necessary an either or proposition, it can be quite synergistic in creating value; one working in the market and through a community”. (Bollier, 2016, 12:13)."
