<p>The growing awareness of the negative externalities and vulnerability of current food systems has led to the development of many food-related initiatives carried out by a wide range of stakeholders in France’s regions. Territorial food projects (‘<i>Projets alimentaires territoriaux</i>’—PATs) were introduced in 2014 to establish governance structures capable to strengthen and promote local food systems. They are now regarded by public sector stakeholders as levers for the agricultural and food system transition. Their objective is to bring local stakeholders around a common food project, to reinforce local food chains and act as integration levers for various issues (social, environmental, economic and health) by involving the relevant stakeholders. This paper aims to analyse how PAT stakeholders achieve these objectives by studying the social network of the stakeholders involved in these governance structures. The original analytical framework combines two social network analysis approaches: relational-chain study using the quantified narratives method and a complete network study. We apply this framework to the Grand Clermont and Livradois–Forez Park PAT. Results show that the PAT mobilises a wide array of resources and stakeholders. Relationships between agricultural organisations and inter-municipalities are especially reinforced with a political agenda on agricultural and food issues and the close involvement of local authorities to organise local value chains. The COVID-19 crisis brought new issues to light, encouraging the participation of stakeholders from the social sector. This paper thus contributes to discussions on the assessment of territorial food governance structures and their role in the local food system transition.</p>
