Abstract

The aim of this paper is to characterize the newly form of alternative food networks – box schemes in Slovakia. The main idea of the box schemes is to speed up the distribution process and bring the freshest possible food to the consumer. This paper deals with the mapping of eco farmers and box sellers through box schemes in terms of the spatial organization in Slovakia. The results of the research show that most of the analyzed alternative food producers are located directly in the cities, especially 54% are located in district cities. The expansion of box schemes in Slovakia can be dated 2013. This paper seeks to contribute to the research literature on the potential of box schemes in Slovakia.

Keywords: box schemes, alternative food networks, spatial organisation, Slovakia
