This article is part of the debate on the governance of food systems and sets out to highlight some of the key issues in this context through the presentation of a case study. The aspects of the food governance the article focuses on concern the importance of defining a governance system that is neither national, nor urban, but that it is rather supraurban, metropolitan, regional, or even better that works on the communication between all these levels. The proposed case study concerns the city of Portland, characterized by strong communication between different levels of food system governance.
