The Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, in collaboration with its partners and the University of Kentucky and Dalhousie University, is preparing to publish three ongoing series entitled JAFSCD Food System Program, Policy, and Practice Briefs: one series on Value Chain Coordination, one on Sustainable Diets (i.e., healthful consumption that is also good for the planet), and one on Sustainable Production Programming.
  • Food System Briefs will be peer-reviewed, and we will encourage authors to team up with experienced researchers, practitioners, consultants, professionals, and government officials to co-author the briefs.
  • Food System Briefs will be short and will distill currently best-known practices in local and regional food systems development work across the key food system domains: food production, distribution, and consumption.
  • Food System Briefs will summarize well-researched and well-established policies and practices that address wicked problems (or ”wicked solutions”) in food systems development, and, to the maximum degree possible, emphasize circularity (waste minimization and reuse). References and links to lengthier reports and peer-reviewed literature must be included as well.

Please note that although they are intended to be authoritative, JAFSCD Briefs are not intended to be adopted as the final word on a model program, policy, or practice. Their purpose is to inform and inspire food system development adaptations. In so doing, briefs may be revised, and possibly even retracted if their utility becomes questionable over time.

More information on the JAFSCD Briefs is available HERE (https://www.foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fsj/announcement/view/32)
