Mapping and Innovating Business Models of Food Hubs in Short Food Supply Chains

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Short food supply chains (SFSCs) offer sustainable alternatives to conventional food systems (CFSCs) but require effective intermediaries to scale and remain competitive. Food Hubs (FHs) serve this role by enhancing SFSC efficiency and market reach while upholding community‐oriented values. However, limited research has examined how FHs design
