FOOD SYSTEM Wiki

A Collaboration of

the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

and the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development

        

 

Welcome to the Food System Wiki!

This wiki and its companion annotated bibliography were initiated as a class project for Urban and Regional Planning 711, Markets and Food Systems, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is administered by JAFSCD. This wiki aims to present a comprehensive guide to food systems and agricultural development–related terms. This is a collection of scientific, political, and popular words, terms, and acronyms: all things food systems-related. It is our hope that these terms provide an accurate overview of some everyday and some not-so-common phrases about this growing field.

 

Anyone may, and should, contribute to this wiki. Before getting started, please read the instructions for contributing to the wiki and wiki citation and formatting standards.

 

Thank you for visiting. It is our hope you will leave feeling informed, empowered, and awakened.

 

Please email Duncan Hilchey (duncan@newleafnet.com) or Alfonso Morales (morales1@wisc.edu) regarding questions, comments, suggestions.
