Why Publish in JAFSCD? Print E-mail
JAFSCD endeavors to break away from the confines of traditional academic publishing and contribute to the community of practice where practitioners who work on agriculture and food system issues (e.g., staff of non-profit groups, public agencies, consultants, activists, and others) can collaborate with academics (students, researchers, scholars, educators, etc.).

 

The very basic benefits of publishing in JAFSCD include:

  • Contributing to and filling the gaps in the emerging body of literature in the nascent field of agriculture and food systems.
  • Proliferating best practices, including new strategies, techniques, approaches
  • Contributing to the critical dialog between practitioners and academia and encourage collaboration in applied research and publishing
  • The opportunity for personal and professional development
