Case study | Solidarity-based marketing methods between organizations: balancing fair remuneration for producers and food accessibility
As part of our process of “Working together to imagine and consolidate the local, sustainable and solidarity-based food supply cycle in Montreal,” we have identified the need for a deeper exploration of solidarity-based marketing methods and pricing policies between community organizations and local producers.
To this end, two Bishop’s University students interning with Collectif Récolte, along with their professors, addressed the following question: What business models can organizations adopt to fairly remunerate local producers, while making local and/or sustainable food accessible to community organizations fighting food insecurity?
This study looks at the cases of two Quebec community organizations, Les Complices Alimentaires (Montérégie-Ouest) and The Depot Community Food Centre (Montreal), and two producers, Cultiver l’Espoir du Regroupement Partage (Montreal) and La Ferme de la Dérive (Rimouski). We would like to thank these partners for their transparency and trust.
