This document is about a presentation given by Ricard Espelt at an international conference in Montpellier, France on local food movements and rural food consumption. The presentation discusses value chains, commercialization schedules, and the connection between fuel prices and agricultural products. It also provides an example of a group consumption model in Catalan Pyrenees and shows the distances between food producers and consumers. The presentation argues that digital technologies provide new opportunities for rural food consumption.
