This article addresses paradigm shifts in the U.S. food system and the problems that commodity food poses for local food movements. Balancing the availability of low-cost food for everyone and living wages for local farmers and farm workers presents a major challenge to successfully shifting from a productionist to an ecologically integrated agrifood paradigm. Local food movements juxtapose a knowledge-rich food environment to the one imposed by the productionist paradigm of industrial agriculture in which the origins of food products and the methods of their production are hidden from the consumer. “Commodity foods,” then, represent the anonymity and the hypercommodification that characterizes the global food system. This article examines the struggle to vertically integrate the local food system in Oregon's Willamette Valley. 1 1.
