Abstract
This study examines how trans-local city food networks approach participation within their internal governance arrangements. For this purpose, we investigate eleven trans-local city food networks that work on up- and/or out-scaling of sustainable local food system initiatives. The results show that approaches to participation vary, especially when it comes to inclusion, distributive – and collective agency. The analysis suggests that while non-governmental actors are included in many networks, their opportunities for effective participation are limited in comparison with local policymakers. Additionally an improved cooperation and alignment between trans-local city food networks would avoid duplication of efforts. By reflecting on their own approach trans-local city food networks could actively look for other networks that can reinforce or complement their own work.
