Sound conceptual basis and evidence-based analysis are expected from a diversity of approaches than can include quantitative or qualitative methodologies dealing with the whole food chain and the complexity of rural systems, including the link with development and envirnmental challenges.
Although specialized agri-food economic articles can find a place in the journal, inter-disciplinary approaches are welcome, with links between economics, social and political sciences. The journal also welcomes applied research on interdependences between rural and food systems, environmental challenges, nutrition, marine resources, innovation policies, poverty and regional systems. Papers with social research applied to local rural and food systems are also within the Journal’s interest, but always with clear innovative methodological approaches and a beyond state of art justification.
Review papers are also opportune if they cover the state of art in groundbreaking topics. Special issues’ proposals are also of interest for the journal.
