Description
Horticultural co-operatives play an important role in food quality and security, economic stability and the welfare of regional and rural communities around the world. In this qualitative study, a conceptual framework of accountability using: to whom; for what; how; with what standards; and with what consequences has been adopted. Semi-structured interviews with growers revealed co-operative principles were not uniformly prioritised and new dimensions of accountability, latent and incremental, were evident. These findings, relevant to global food security, aid understanding of accountability in the fresh food supply chain and contribute to thinking about co-operatives.
