The representative categories of business models in the typology will help small and medium-sized farmers learn how their operations best fit into their local/regional food landscape. But as systems continue to change and evolve, enterprises can also consider what is required to expand or transition into another category, and how their business might respond to changes in the local economy and/or market linkages that commonly occur within each model classification. Figure 1 was modified from the Agriculture of the Middle schematic to visually represent the resulting typology. Although this categorization will still be overly simplified, it may help to illustrate how food systems are redeveloping across the US driven by different place-based factors.
