Future Research Approaches To Encourage Small-scale Fisheries in the Local Food Movement

To date, the local food system movement has focused primarily on the agri-food system. In our commentary, we suggest some ways of moving forward that may help ensure that research and discourse in the area of sustainable food systems more actively consider the role of small-scale fisheries.
