ABSTRACT

The significance of local food has been emphasized in the food service industry. However, relatively little is known about how local food can be adopted and utilized in the school food service sector. This study examines the current adoption and utilization of local food in Korean schools. Three key attributes of local food systems-distance, economics, and environmental factors-were considered in this study. A total of 42 relevant news articles has been throughly selected and analyzed for this study. Results show that currently local food is mostly discussed in terms of its environmental friendliness, and only occasionally are the other two aspects mentioned. The findings of this study offer constructive policy suggestions to effectively adopt and utilize local food. The study also raised a set of future research questions.
