The African
Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development (AJFAND) is a peer
reviewed journal. The journal is envisaged
to enable dissemination and sharing of food and nutrition information issues
on the continent. It taps social science, biochemical, food and nutrition
related research and information. It also addresses issues related to agriculture,
food security, and nutrition that affect Africa's
development and people's livelihoods. It targets and is intended to serve
the research and intellectual community; African and international non-governmental
organizations (NGOs); African and development oriented bilateral and multilateral
agencies; and African public institutions working towards solving food and
nutrition problems and addressing issues on the African continent. AJFAND
is open to both African and non-African contributors. Besides academic research,
the journal provides an avenue for sharing information on national-level
food and nutrition programs. It is anticipated that four issues will be produced
every year, with each issue combining research, programs and policy aspects.
The printed version is available mainly in English, with
certain parts of it in French. Already, the journal is accessible in full,
on the internet at www.ajfand.net in English. The website will increasingly
be interactive, where topical issues can be discussed and debated. Announcements
of relevant upcoming events can be sent in time for the printed version and
anytime for the website.
