Abstract
Utilizingdata gathered through semi-structured interviews this paper examines the emotional labor of food provisioning for women engaged in local food systems. Results suggest that women engaged in local food systems experience an increase in the emotional labor of food provisioning as they engage in local food systems, that they experience heightened positive and negative emotions with food provisioning when they engage in local food systems, and that socio-demographic factors, particularly socio-economic status, employment status, and presence of children, complicate the emotional labor of food provisioning for women as they engage in local food systems.
