The interpersonal world of direct marketing: Examining conventions of quality at UK farmers' markets

Article Abstract:

Producers and consumers at farmers' markets are examined utilizing the framework of Conventions Theory to see how they coordinate their mutual expectations in order to circumvent the uniform standards of conventionally produced food and create new production--consumption spaces. The notion of Regard Convention is suggested as a means of acknowledging the non-economic benefits of food supply chains that are underpinned by direct marketing, and in particular, those that involve face-to-face interaction between the participants.
