Abstract
The foodscape is the relational space of food provision. This paper examines key building blocks, actors as well as stakeholders of the local foodscape in the Škofja Loka Hills region. Therefore, we applied two research approaches: the food equation and the regional economic cycles. The foodscape in the Škofja Loka Hills region is very heterogeneous from the internal perspective, and homogeneous from the external perspective. It encompassess a range of actors (smaller and bigger farms, processing plants) and stakeholders (cooperative, supportive institutions), some of them are active outside of the functional area and already forming trans-local networks. Based on the analysis of accesible data, semi-structured interviews (N=14) and a focus group we estimate that in Škofja Loka Hills region there is more food produced than consumed.
