“…Paradoxically, the most restrictive rules can be found in the more urbanized provinces (British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec), where a considerable number of farmers sell through short supply chains and benefit from access to large consumer markets. In contrast, the quota exemption limits are higher in the Prairie Provinces (Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan), where export-driven conventional farming is more widely practiced (Beingessner & Fletcher, 2019). This is probably due to the fact that, in the more urbanized provinces, the strong growth of short supply chains is viewed as a potential problem, from both an economic and food safety perspective.…”

n behalf of the JAFSCD staff and community, I would like to extend condolences to anyone in the JAFSCD community-our shareholders-who have lost family members or colleagues during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are with you. We also wish anyone who has contracted the virus our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery, and hope for a better future for those whose lives have been turned topsyturvey by the pandemic.On May 26, 2020, the United States officially reported losing 100,000 individuals, many of whom were vulnerable to this plague-especially the poor, people of color, the elderly, and essential workers. This represents a moral and systemic failure for the world's richest country. As Americans are cobbling together an assortment of food provisioning strategies, what we are witnessing is a demonstration of just how fragile American food security is in a time of crisis. However, as you'll see in this open call issue, COVID-19 is also highlighting our strengths and creativity, and what we can build on in a future food system that contributes to our overall health, well-being, and social resiliency.In response to the need for timely information, we are launching a year-long call for submissions on COVID-19 and the food system. We are fast-tracking for publication commentaries from researchers and Voices from the Grassroots essays from non-academics. In addition, we are calling for peer-reviewed papers to be submitted this fall (see details at https://foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fsj/call-for-papers). OOn our cover: Like many local food venues around the U.S. and world, the Ithaca (New York) Farmers Market (https://ithacamarket.com/) moved quickly to enable sales to continue safely in early spring as the COVID-19 pandemic grew.

This article aims to review the current literature pertaining to the effects of eating local seasonal food on sustainable consumption. To this end, we examined definitions of seasonal and local food, the methodological approaches adopted to study the impact of seasonal consumption on sustainability, and sustainability dimensions investigated in journal articles. Highlighting what seasonal and local means, it is crucial to evaluate the effect of the consumption of these foods on sustainability. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using Scopus and Clarivate’s Web of Science database in line with the recommendations from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Our findings suggest that the concept of local seasonality provides relevant information to the study of sustainable consumption. However, for better use of this concept, it is crucial to define what is local. At this point, regulation of labels based on geographic proximity or political boundaries proves pertinent.

“…El concepto de la Soberanía alimentaria está creciendo y progresando no solo en los países afectados por la "Gran recesión", donde las políticas de austeridad han tenido consecuencias dramáticas para la población (Beingessner & Fletcher, 2020). Existen prácticas de Soberanía alimentaria a nivel local, regional y mundial: jardines interculturales, mercados de intercambio de plantas, cooperativas de alimentos, patios comunitarios, proyectos de agricultura urbana, cooperación de agricultores, plantación comunitaria, etc.…”

“…A partir de este nuevo concepto nacen muchos movimientos que se esfuerzan por realizar cambios en diferentes escalas territoriales y viendo el problema desde una perspectiva local (Ebel, et al, 2020). Dicha perspectiva orienta un Desarrollo local, provocando efectos sobre la sostenibilidad social, ecológica y económica dentro de estas comunidades (Beingessner & Fletcher, 2020).…”

El presente artículo contiene una perspectiva de la Soberanía alimentaria desde el Desarrollo local, donde el primer concepto complementa al desarrollo territorial indistinto a la escala que se maneje. Es muy imperativo que para evaluar las potencialidades del desarrollo local se tiene que emplear como pilar, el derecho a la alimentación, ya que este radica un problema sustancial y evidente en la actualidad a nivel mundial, este problema es la deficiencia nutricional. También se analiza que este metabolismo social puede ayudar a buscar una solución desde lo local a lo regional e incluso a lo global, complementándose los dos conceptos para el beneficio de la sociedad. El tipo de metodología que se utilizó consistió en una revisión sistemática de información actualizada en artículos académicos sobre Soberanía alimentaria y Desarrollo local, la cual fue consultada en bases especializadas como Scopus y Web of Science.
