abstract This article seeks to understand how agrifood economies can address current sustainability and food security challenges in the context of increasing economic and health inequalities. For that purpose, we cross-fertilize economic geography and food studies literature to develop an innovative conceptual framework that builds upon three currently fragmented bodies of work: the diverse economies literature, the distributed economies framework, and territorial and place-based approaches to food security. The proposed diverse, distributive, and territorial framework further develops existing relational, performative, and spatial approaches to explore changing economic geographies of agrifood systems. The application of this framework to investigate fruit and vegetable provision in the city of Cardiff (UK) reveals the key role of connective, fluid, and multifunctional infrastructures to reconfigure foodscapes. Specifically, our analysis shows how food infrastructures have the potential to act as bridging conceptual, material, and sociopolitical devices. The proposed framework ultimately serves as a capacity-building tool to reassess and rebuild territorialized agrifood economies that champion diversity and redistribution of value with the aim of delivering wide societal and material benefits, enhance democracy, and increase the socioecological resilience of food systems.

建立多样化、分配性和地域化的农业食品经济体，以实现可持续性和粮食安全

摘要 本文旨在了解农业经济如何在经济和健康不平等加剧的背景下应对当前的可持续性和粮食安全挑战。为此，我们对经济地理学和食品研究文献进行了交叉融合，以开发一个创新的概念框架，该框架建立在三个目前分散的工作主体的基础上：多样化经济文献、分布式经济框架以及基于地域和地点的粮食安全方法. 拟议的多样化、分配和地域框架进一步发展了现有的关系、表现和空间方法，以探索农业食品系统不断变化的经济地理。应用该框架来调查加的夫市（英国）的水果和蔬菜供应，揭示了连接、流动和多功能的基础设施来重新配置食物景观。具体而言，我们的分析显示了食品基础设施如何有潜力充当概念、物质和社会政治设备的桥梁。拟议的框架最终可作为一种能力建设工具，用于重新评估和重建支持多样性和价值再分配的地域化农业经济，旨在提供广泛的社会和物质利益，加强民主，并提高粮食系统的社会生态弹性。
