Abstract

Abstract This article based on the example of Lithuanian pilot areas (districts) aims to supplement the knowledge about the role and functions of stakeholders in the development of local food systems (hereinafter LFS). An analysis of the scientific literature has revealed a clear role of stakeholders in different countries, but this approach and experience are unique in each country. The results of the case study of Lithuania showed that an analysis of pilot areas and a questionnaire survey at the municipal level identified 14 institutions that could make a significant contribution to the organization of LFS. However, horizontal links between LFS stakeholders are relatively weak, functions and roles are not clearly defined in the pilot areas. Research methods used in the article: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, document analysis, case study, questionnaire survey, logical abstraction, comparison method. The insights and results of this article contributed to a deeper understanding of LFS as a phenomenon in Lithuania, and from a practical point of view, other districts of Lithuania could discover, self-assess and adapt their LFS organization principles, identify stakeholders and their functions.

利益相关者在地方粮食系统发展中的作用和职能:立陶宛案例

摘要本文以立陶宛试点地区（区）为例，旨在补充有关利益相关者在当地粮食系统发展中的作用和职能的知识。对科学文献的分析揭示了不同国家利益攸关方的明确作用，但这种方法和经验在每个国家都是独特的。立陶宛的案例研究结果表明，对试点地区的分析和市一级的问卷调查确定了14个可以对LFS的组织做出重大贡献的机构。然而，LFS利益攸关方之间的横向联系相对薄弱，试点地区的职能和作用没有明确界定。本文采用的研究方法有：科学文献分析与综合法、文献分析法、案例研究法、问卷调查法、逻辑抽象法、比较法。本文的见解和结果有助于更深入地理解LFS作为立陶宛的一种现象，从实践的角度来看，立陶宛的其他地区可以发现、自我评估和调整其LFS组织原则，确定利益相关者及其职能。
