Abstract
The paper aims to critically evaluate the potential of alternative food networks (AFNs), mainly the farmers' markets (FMs) in Czechia (or post-communist countries with similar experience and development). First, it describes geographical and historical context of AFN development in post-communist Czechia. After an overview of the current situation of FMs in the country, the paper analyses the data gathered through two waves of interviewing and a focus group discussion. Four main issues are identified together with their positive and negative aspects for the future of FMs existence and for rural development in general. The concluding remarks indicate the importance FMs from the (urban) community point of view, without, however, any significant impacts on the development of rural areas in Czechia.
