(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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Presubmission review deadline: May 1, 2024</strong></p> <p><strong>Submission deadline: June 12, 2024</strong></p> <p>See the <a title="full call for papers" href="https://www.foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fsj/call-for-papers">full call for papers</a> and consider contributing your work! </p> <p><img src="https://foodsystemsjournal.org/public/site/images/achristian/circular-food-systems-image-ellen-macarthur-foundation-500px.jpg" alt="Image of a circular food system from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation." width="500" height="377" /></p> https://foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fsj/announcement/view/31 Tue, 19 Dec 2023 10:02:36 -0800
