Sažetak

One way to respond to existing conventional agri-food systems and to create a strategy for competitiveness or survival of small family farms is to develop alternative forms of food supply chains. They are usually combined with manufacturing practices, rural tourism, local agri-food production, and local community development. Short agri-food supply chains generate economic, social and environmental benefits not only for farmers and consumers but also for the wider local community. This article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of short supply chains (SSC) and alternative food networks through a thorough review of literature. It explores works and different authors' approaches, with particular emphasis on the discussion on the definition of SSC, the classification criteria and the key determinants of SSC and forms and purpose of alternative agri-food supply chains. Finally, the key determinants and expected benefits of the SSC for producers, consumers and the local community are brought forward.
