Our spring 2025 issue features a special section of articles in response to our call for papers on community-based circular food systems. See the wide range of papers that address this opportunity.
On our cover is Agricole Farm Stop, an everyday farmers market in historic downtown Chelsea, Michigan, USA. The store opened in July 2019 with a simple mission: grow the local food economy and cultivate community connection. Agricole is passionate about supporting nearby farmers, increasing local food access, and connecting its community with fresh, sustainably grown food. Nearly 200 farmers sell their goods on consignment (with a 75/25 split between the farmer and Agricole). Since 2019, Agricole has returned US$5.8 million to local farmers and food businesses.

This set of papers is sponsored by the Thomas A. Lyson Center for Civic Agriculture and Food Systems, publisher of JAFSCD.
