Information For Readers

😀😄😕 🤬😞😥 JAFSCD is the world's only peer-reviewed transdisciplinary journal focused solely on food and farming-related community development. JAFSCD uses a double-blind peer-review process, with expert reviewers who include both researchers, scholars, and food systems professionals in the field. Each accepted article is published online immediately after proofing and formatting, then aggregated into quarterly issues for the purposes of indexing.
