Become a JAFSCD Individual Shareholder
JAFSCD Now offers individual Shares!
Get your share of FRESH WEEKLY JAFSCD CONTENT delivered directly to your email inbox from the world’s only community-supported local food systems journal!
Borrowing from the community-supported agriculture (CSA) model in the local food movement, we invite you to join with others to contribute what you can in order to keep JAFSCD free to all.
We have many shareholders that are academic programs or departments, nonprofit organizations, academic libraries, etc. But for those who are unaffiliated or don't have a budget to draw from, we welcome your individual share!
In our inaugural individual shareholder campaign, we are setting a target of 500 people around the world to become individual shareholders.
