Call for Papers: Community-Based Circular Food Systems
As argued recently by van Zanten et al. (2023), we believe that any meaningful progress toward the wide range of UN Sustainable Development Goals will require a transformative change in the food system, including in production, processing, distribution, retailing, consumption, and the utilization of waste, while promoting human and planetary well-being.
The editorial team welcomes manuscripts from original applied research, literature reviews, historical analyses, projections, public policy analyses, case studies, feasibility studies, reflective essays, life-cycle analyses, and other works that reveal the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to current and emerging C-B CFS models. Post-mortem analyses of failed initiatives can also be informative. Research of interest may drill deeply into one component of a C-B CFS (see list below) or focus broadly across production-to-consumption stakeholder groups or value-chain components, including waste. However, JAFSCD’s focus requires that community embeddedness be front and center. Commentaries from grassroots organizations that inform C-B CFS research, policy, and practice are also welcomed.
Presubmission review deadline: May 1, 2024
Submission deadline: June 12, 2024
