The 11 manuscripts in this issue were selected for publication in this special issue following a call for submissions developed by the guest editors of this special issue in partnership with JAFSCD and its advisors.

Why are we a shareholder of JAFSCD? It’s simple. The Center for Environmental Farming Systems and NC State Extension share the same goals as JAFSCD in promoting research-based strategies that simultaneously minimize food insecurity and farm loss and maximize community resilience.
