AB  - In  the  context  of  growing  concerns  surrounding  food  security  and  sustainability,  this  paper  examines  the  emergence of short food supply chains (SFSCs) as alternative food systems. Focusing on box schemes in Portugal, the study investigates the socioeconomic factors influencing the presence of SFSC actors, utilizing a quantitative approach. Drawing on  data  from  420  producers  offering  food  boxes  and  secondary  data  on  municipality-level  variables,  the  analysis  reveals  nuanced  relationships  between  factors  such  as  average  income,  urbanization,  education  levels,  gender  composition,  and  the proliferation of SFSCs. Notably, the study uncovers differential patterns in the determinants of SFSC presence between metropolitan  and  non-metropolitan  areas,  highlighting  the  significance  of  territorial  contexts.  The  findings  contribute  empirical insights to the evolving literature on SFSCs, informing strategies for fostering resilient and equitable food systems in diverse geographic settings.
