Abstract

The creation and establishment of new movements in the food and drink industries have attracted significant scholarly attention via diverse disciplinary lenses, including entrepreneurial (Svejenova, Mazza & Planellas, 2007) and institutional (Rao, Monin and Durand, 2003; van Bommel and Spicer 2011) perspectives. This is not surprising given the variety of dynamic and creative developments that food production and consumption have experienced in recent years, and the complex political, sociocultural and economic implications those developments have.
