Abstract
While local products can be purchased in various retail channels (direct, indirect, and conventional circuits) most research and studies associate them almost exclusively with the direct-to-consumer channel. The purpose of this study, conducted with 731 consumers in Quebec, is to distinguish the motivations for buying local food products in these different retail channels. We show that consumer motivations are not identical in the three local food retail channels studied. The conventional circuit benefits from a functional motivation higher than that of the direct circuit on the one hand, and from an economic motivation superior to that of the indirect circuit on the other. Our results also suggest that the choice of distribution channel has no effect on consumers’ perception of the quality of local products. This study offers marketers and different local actors, such as producers and public authorities, opportunities to support and increase sales of local products.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
