Abstract
A growing global population, climate changes, increasing food demands on especially animal produces and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are just some of the reasons attention towards local food systems is increasing – and needed. Climate changes are causing unpredictable crop yields all over the globe affecting food availability, food prices and human health. An adoption to a local food system is suggested to, among others, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, increase food availability, and improve local employment as well as local economy. Through mixed methods including Situational Analysis, this master thesis project report is investigating the political and agricultural capacity in local food system on Bornholm. Through a case study investigating school meal procurement policies challenges and opportunities will be examined on integrating local food in Bornholm.
