circuits courts

This is the title and main term of an academic paper dedicated to "circuits courts":
"Un circuit court, c’est un mode de commercialisation qui se définit soit par la vente directe du producteur au consommateur, soit par la vente indirecte, à condition qu’il n’y ait qu’un seul intermédiaire."
Among the paradigms of this model, the article refers to japanese Teikei: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teikei
Basically, I'm searching for a catchy title and easily understandable way to convey the same meaning.
Thank you for your advice!

short channels
The division of marketing channels between "short" and "long" is not as well-established or widely used as the one between "direct" and "indirect", but it does exist, even in the academic literature; see link below.
Do say "channels". This is about selling, not about supply chains.

Note from asker:
| Thanks! The distinction you made between chain/channel is very relevant, I'll certainly use it. |

short [supply] chains
I can't see how "short supply chains" can make a catchy title and what relevance the Teikei example has to this.
Lots of examples.
"...forms to be 'short food supply chains' (circuits courts). "

Hi Karen. The asker was asking for a catchy title for academia. I would have by no means suggested such phrasing for a key concept to be developed in an article. And idiomatic language has a lot to do with sports, my confidence level being here=1.

Le teikei (提携) a ses origines en 1957 au Japon. 提携 veut dire coopération ou collaboration. La forme des teikei varie mais c’est tout simplement un système de distribution directe entre un producteur et un consommateur.
I can't help you with a catchy title ... but a short circuit, called a 'short', is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path where no impedance is encountered. In a similar fashion, when a producer sells directly to a consumer, he gets rid of one or more intermediaries or go-betweens ... This is easy to understand. ¡Buena suerte señor Ganassi!
