註釋Abstract: A food co-op is a group of individuals and families which purchases food in bulk from a wholesaler, avoiding middle-man markup, and distributes to its members. The food co-op is an economical, political and qualitative alternative to food supermarket shopping. It is a response to inflationary prices. The food co-op popularity implies participants' needs for autonomy and more control over the forces that shape their lives. History of food co-ops from initial organizational meetings in Concord, Massachusetts to comparisons of 1930's and 1970's co-ops is presented. Chapters describe potential food savings and time commitments involved; organizational possibilities, growth and change over time; space, bookkeeping, financing and organizational needs; wholesale buying techniques; political ramifications. Appendices list wholesalers, national co-ops and co-op newsletters.
