The main research aim was to understand what support is needed for AFNs to thrive. A mix of methods were used to understand what support needs actors in the Alternative Food System in the main case study area (Sado island), including interviews and partaking in farming, food and community events. A workshop was held to show results of the research with local actors and discuss future steps. The results from interviews and experience showed that actors wanted further capacity to create connection for enhancing their knowledge. Farmers and retailers would also benefit strongly from more access to markets, an increased awareness of the benefits of organic and natural agriculture in customers. A brighter and more fun image of farming needs to be created to attract younger generations.
