Practical Action Publishing produced the magazine Food Chain from 1990 to 2003 and in 2011 we are launching a new international peer-reviewed journal also called Food Chain to share information among researchers, practitioners and policy-makers.
Food Chain is an international journal for all those involved in developing the supply of high-quality foods from ‘farm gate to plate’ and those who use food processing to alleviate poverty and hunger. By bridging the gap between research and practice, we encourage papers written by researchers for the benefit of people who put ideas into practice in the field, and those written by practitioners to inform the need for further research. The content will cover all aspects of promoting food chains, from on-farm processing and post-harvest storage, to the operation of small food processing businesses, supply of food processing or analytical equipment, hygiene and quality assurance, marketing, distribution, finance and the place of small-scale processing in the wider business and economic environment.
Practical Action Publishing est une maison d’édition spécialisée dans la publication d’ouvrages techniques destinés aux acteurs du développement.
Publié de 1990 à 2003, le magazine Food Chain renaît aujourd’hui au travers d’une nouvelle version internationale lancée en 2011. L’objectif est de partager des informations entre les chercheurs, les praticiens et les responsables politiques. Le journal œuvre à l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire, de la terre à l’assiette.
