About ASFS
The Association for the Study of Food and Society was founded in 1985 with the goals of promoting interdisciplinary approaches to food, society, and culture. It has continued that mission by holding annual meetings and through the publication of the journal, Food, Culture & Society, which has received awards for design and content.
About AFHVS
The Agriculture, Food, and Human Values Society was formed in 1987 and promotes interdisciplinary research and scholarship on the vales, visions, and structures underlying contemporary food systems, nationally and internationally. Through conferences and its journal, Agriculture and Human Values, it explores alternative visions of more democratic and decentralized food systems that sustain local and regional communities, cultures, and habitats.
