The sustainability of short food supply chains (SFSC) is mainly approached through comparing the performance of local and global chains. However, the very specificities of SFSC are difficult to account for in analysis. In this paper, we break free from a three-pillars perspective on sustainability and instead adopt an inductive approach. One crucial insight that arises from our qualitative study is the importance of multi-actors dynamics within specific territories. Among the crucial drivers, the density of interactions built up by actors emerges as a common denominator of SFSC. This aspect is essential for understanding both the drivers of and the obstacles to the sustainability of SFSC initiatives.
