New Journal on the Science, Sociology and Economics of Food Production

April 17, 2009

The International Society for Plant Pathology and Springer have come together to launch a new journal with the title Food Security: the Science, Sociology and Economics of Food Production and Access to Food. The journal aims to take a synthetic approach to the many disciplines which are relevant to food security so that an overview of the subject becomes readily comprehensible. The first issue of the journal is freely available online at http://www.springer.com/life+sci/agriculture/journal/12571 and comprises a foreword by the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Norman Borlaug..
