A useful way of promoting sustainable food consumption is to consider the spread of food retail operations focused on food diversification, food specialization, and fresh and local products. These food shops are generally small, which is a great problem for survival against ruthless competition from supermarkets. Our research objective was to construct a simulation with an agent-based model, reproducing the local food consumption market and to investigate how a new, small food retailing shop interacts with this market. As a case study, the model simulates the opening of a small farmersâ€™ market. The intent of the model is to reproduce the current status of consumption for food products within a certain territorial context and given time period, and to investigate how consumersâ€™ behaviour changes with the opening of the new shop. As a result, we could predict changes in consumersâ€™ habits, the economic positioning of new, small shops and its best location. This information is of considerable interest for farmersâ€™ markets and also for policymakers.
