Survey respondents (<em>N</em> = 2,316) indicated strong positive beliefs, attitudes, and propensity toward buying local food. At the same time, however, they reported difficulty identifying whether food was local as well as a lack of opportunities to buy local food. The findings build upon the growing body of research surrounding the "buy local" movement in North America by providing insight into why people want to buy local and potential barriers that prevent stronger markets for local food products.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, author={Dukeshire, Steven and Garbes, Renée and Kennedy, Chloe and Boudreau, Ainslie and Osborne, Theresa}, year={2011}, month={May}, pages={19–29} }
