Volume 1, Issue. 1 – Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development
First issue free to download until the end of September
The inaugural issue of the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development (JAFSCD) is now online. The first issue of this international, peer-reviewed journal of applied research and policy analysis is open and available free to the public until the end of September.
JAFSCD is an international, online, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on agriculture and food systems and bridges the interests of development professionals (including activist farmers and business people), educators, consultants, and the academic community.
While kindred journals focus on critical sustainable food production practices, community food security, and the sociology and political economy of food and agriculture, there has not been a journal supporting the community of practice that is rapidly integrating and evolving around these issues. We look forward to fostering an applied research literature where these interests meet — and may sometimes collide — and the nascent field of agriculture and food systems as a whole advances.
This inaugural issue is on the timely topic of “Growing New Farmers,” with five articles focusing on the opportunities and challenges of assisting the next generation of farmers.

There is nothing more likely to take a workable bottom-up approach to a problem and turn it into an academic discipline that ignores realities and folks doing whats right in their personal biomes than publishing yet another journal…foir heaven’s sake folks, get a clue…less academe and more plain folk farming is whats needed – not a lot of fuds wandering around with their hands out for grants doing esoteric research to justify their salaries! Wanna help? Stop being so helpful…
Le salon est tellement grand, entre les halls dehors il y a aussi des démonstrations, on en prend plein les yeux c’est magique. Ca traite vraiment de tout, des animaux, des tracteursn, du jardin… enfin de tout. C’est dommage que ce soit bondé car c’est pas mal pour les enfants et ca leur permet de découvrir un peu d’ou viennent les choses qu’ils mangent (viande, lait, fromage etc). Le stand Botanic avec jeu de piste “les senteurs du jardin” était très bien conçu cette année j’en garde un très bon souvenir! Les enfants doivent retrouver le nom des légumes, fleurs, aromates etc…. Ils ont adoré !! Après, ils m’ont posé plein de questions et ont voulu en savoir plus sur les animaux, et les métiers. C’était un joli moment familial. Je le conseille. Il y a aussi le concept de la ferme pédagogique. dans ma ville il y a des séjours à la ferme d’organisé dès 4 ans. Et le salon de l’Agriculture c’est utile, ça permet de montrer des parisiens aux animaux de la ferme
