Food systems stuff you'll like to know about



Howdy, all--

Thought it might interest you to know that the latest issue of 
/Agriculture and Human Values/ (the journal of the Ag, Food, and 
Human Values Society) has a very interesting summer, 1996, issue.

Women's home garden practices in NE Thailand
Indigenous dryland farming in N Burkino Faso
Community food security and environmental justice
Coming into the foodshed (a discussion of the foodshed concept)
Community shared agriculture
Black farmers/farms
Food consumption among Chinese, Chinese-American, and White American
          women
Traditional African American foods and African Americans

The issue is subtitled "Multicultural considerations from cropping to 
consumption" with Jacqueline M Newman as the guest editor.

Those of you with interests in regional food systems stuff I think
will find this issue has lots of good information.  A copy of the
foodshed article will be available in about another two weeks on the
CIAS Web site:

This issue also has the call for papers, posters, and proposals for 
the society's 1997 annual meetings, which will be held here in 
Madison this summer.  We'll have stuff on the Web site about that too 
very soon

To order this issue of the journal, contact editor Richard Haynes:

Happy election day!
