| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study explored how farmers' markets in the United States are being operated and adapted in various communities, with special attention to relationships between federal government, state, and cities (counties). Farmers' markets are important sites that provide diverse locally-produced fresh produce and food products, and this is especially evident in cities. They are also frequently mentioned in media with positive evaluation. Rise of farmers' markets have established what Japanese call "Chisan Chisho" (Produce locally, consume locally), and they are likely to continue contributing to supplying fresh food products in the United States.
