Climate change, price increase of agricultural products, great amounts of post-harvest and storage losses, tendency toward excessive and inappropriateconsumption of foodstuff, failure of physical and economic distribution of food, low productivity in water and soil sources as well as manpower, reduced food safety, and low income of farmers are among the challenges that food security faces. One of the solutions to emancipate communities from such challenges is the localization of the food system. Localization is on the path to sustainable agriculture for some reasons such as ecological benefits, economic benefits, and social considerations. The concept of foodshed provides a framework to analyze the amount of local food produced at any scale. Therefore, this study, with an approach to sustainable agriculture, studies the concept of a foodshedandidentifies the components considered in the analysis of a foodshed.
