About CAFE Journal
Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment
AIMS & SCOPE
CAFE publishes position papers, discussions of theoretical developments and methods of inquiry, results of empirical research, and book and film reviews from any tradition of scholarship.
Central to the mission is work that explores and demonstrates
the connections between the full array of cultural dimensions and
the environment, ecology, agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries,
natural resources, energy, water, food, and nutrition.
CAFE also welcomes contributions on matters related to sustainability and biodiversity. Dialogue between scholars, activists, and others interested in these matters is encouraged.
The journal has an interdisciplinary readership among anthropologists and archaeologists, as well as researchers and practitioners in related fields including sociology, agricultural economics, food studies, policy sciences, and diverse branches of farming and natural resources management.
Be sure to check out our CAFE Accompaniment page for exclusive digital content, like interview snippets and photos that go along with the AnthroSource published articles.
