Abstract

First paragraphs: Our spring 2025 issue features a special section of articles in response to our call for papers on community-based circular food systems. One example of an innovative C-B CFS, the farm stop, increases community resilience and adds to a circular economy. On our cover is Agricole Farm Stop, a farmers market that’s open every day in historic downtown Chelsea, Michigan, USA. The store opened in July 2019 with the mission to grow the local food economy and cultivate community connection. Agricole is passionate about supporting nearby farmers, increasing local food access, and connecting its community members with fresh, sustainably grown food. Nearly 200 farmers sell their goods on consignment (with a 75/25 split between the farmer and Agricole). Since 2019, Agricole has returned US$5.8 million to local farmers and food businesses. (The cover photo is by Agricole and is used with permission.) I extend a special thanks to the community-based circular food systems editorial team made up of María Alonso Martínez, Jacob Park, Jim Worstell, Anna Davies, WarīNkwī Flores, and Sarah Rocker. Please read their excellent thematic editorial to get the background and full scope of all the articles in the special section. . . .
