The summer 2025 issue contains peer-reviewed research on a wide range of food systems topics, including the effectiveness of U.S. SNAP.
On our cover: University of Kentucky employees and retirees on a health plan may choose a US$100 or US$200 voucher toward the cost of a community supported agriculture (CSA) share from one of UK’s partner farms. Participants receive a weekly box of local produce at their chosen pickup location. The CSA voucher program is an excellent way to save money and get to know local farmers. Read a peer-reviewed analysis in this issue of what values were most and least important to people’s decision about participating in this employee benefit in Understanding consumer values of participants in a cost-offset community supported agriculture (CSA) program by Jairus Rossi, Thomas Pierce, Shuoli Zhao, and Timothy A. Woods. Cover design by Kristin Cruser, Marketing/Promotion Specialist Senior, University of Kentucky
