French term or phrase: filières courtes (labels)
My mind has gone blank as to how to translate
'filières courtes' in the text below. I know what it means, it means cutting out the middle man, 'la grande distribution'... but I just can't think of how to put it.

Pour aboutir à une véritable sanctuarisation des bassins d’alimentation des captages, X peut également intervenir dans la mise en place de différentes mesures compensatoires s’appuyant sur l’aménagement de l’espace agricole, dans les périmètres identifiés comme prioritaires :
o bandes enherbées, haies
o extensification, conversion à l’agriculture raisonnée / biologique : lX est susceptible d’établir une évaluation des besoins pour l’exploitation, des actions de conseil, du suivi de la zone saturée et non saturée, aider à la maîtrise des ruissellements…
o boisement / enherbement / phytoremédiation couplée à la sylviculture…
o acquisitions foncières : elles peuvent représenter un outil pertinent pour atteindre un objectif « zéro intrant » : agriculture intégrée ou biologique, boisement... Il est également envisageable de travailler au niveau local à la mise en place de ***filières courtes (labels)*** et d’engager des discussions avec les distributeurs. Enfin, il ne faut pas négliger la possibilité de s’inscrire dans les énergies renouvelables (ex. taillis à courte rotation).

Explanation:
French and English talk about the same thing but don't use the same language. French has miniaturized the concept, reducing it to "filière courte" whereas anything I have found in English says something like "local production and local consumption".

Not that I see the relevance of "labels" in that context - the "poulets labelisés" I can find in my local supermarkets come from the other side of France! Mind you, everything is relative, and I suspect for a French mentality a "poulet de Bresse" is a local product, and "labelisable" (as opposed to one imported from eastern Europe or Brazil), and it would be "better" for someone in Strasbourg to buy a chicken from Bresse, label and all, than one from just across the border in Germany (which would not have a "label", even if it did have its German equivalent.


Il y a deux façons de produire de l’huile : la filière courte et la filière industrielle. La filière courte c’est celle des agriculteurs qui fabriquent leur huile, ou celle de groupements d’agriculteurs qui mutualisent cette production. La filière industrielle correspond au projet de l’usine de diester de Montoir (près de St Nazaire).
http://www.journal-la-mee.info/SPIP-v1-6/article.php3?id_art...

L'idée est de défendre une filière courte qui permet un meilleur contrôle de la production et aussi un meilleur revenu du producteur qui se trouve à la base de la production. Sur un produit que vous achetez 2,50 euros en grande surface, dans le meilleur des cas, il y a 1,25 euros à 1,50 euros qui vont à la grande distribution et le reste au producteur

La filière courte
Après pressage simple dans une machine assez rudimentaire, l'huile est décantée puis filtrée pour être utilisée directement comme carburant. Le rendement de pressage est de 30% à 40% d'huile pour 60 à 70 % de tourteaux (résidu pâteux).

One rationale is that LOCAL PRODUCTION of organic produce by families in their own gardens for their own consumption is not taxed or regulated, and that LITTLE OR NO USE OF THE ENERGY-AND-LAND-INTENSIVE TRANSPORT SYSTEM, or energy-and-labor intensive regulation system is required for these same people to sell the same product to neighbors..
