Abstract The paper provides comparative information on the citation characteristics of theses and dissertations and research faculty publications in food science over an eleven-year period. These include: the types of publications that they cite; the age of resources; the characteristics of the journals they cite (scatter of cited journals articles, zones of cited journals, overlap of cited journals, Journal Citation Report categories, and ranking of cited journals); and the publishers of cited journals. The similarities and differences between graduate students’ citation patterns (theses [Masters] and dissertations [Ph.D.]) and those of the faculty are highlighted and discussed throughout the paper.

ABSTRACT Data sharing attitudes and practices of the faculty of the plant sciences departments at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities were explored in a mixed method study consisting of an online survey and semi-structured in-depth interviews. Results show the majority of participating faculty responded positively regarding data sharing and practice it in some form. However, several challenges exist, such as the time needed to prepare metadata, long-term storage and preservation, collaboration and communication with fellow researchers, and gaps in coding skill. Librarians are uniquely suited to help researchers face these challenges and support increased data sharing.

Abstract This study investigates the hybrid informational governance arrangements involved in the provision of ICT-enabled Weather Information Services (WIS) for farming in Ghana. Farmers and organizations providing WIS were interviewed. Findings show that multiple technologies are used by combinations of government, business, and civil society organizations to provide various WIS for farming. The ICT has facilitated the creation of different hybrid informational governance arrangements, categorized as multiplicity, intertwinement, and coalescence, which permits flows of WIS across scales, from international non-state organizations to farming communities, often by-passing national and district-level government organizations. Government organizations remain key players in the provision of WIS.

The vision statement of the United Farm Workers (UFW) embodies the union’s long history of connecting workers’ rights with the quality and safety of the food that comes from the fields they tend and harvest. Labor, and especially farm labor, is too often invisible. Although there is increasing public attention to the food we buy and eat and elevated consciousness with regards to freshness and purity, there remain significant blind spots when it comes to consumer understanding of how fresh produce makes its way to our homes and tables. The produce planted, cultivated, and harvested in the agricultural fields of the United States relies on farm workers. Martin (2012) estimated there were 2.4 million hired farm workers in the United States in 2012. Farm worker median annual pay in 2019 was $25,840 or $12.42 per hour (Hernandez & Gabbard, 2018). Farm workers enjoy very few protections in terms of workplace safety at the state and federal level (Martin, 2020). In language associated with the current pandemic, agricultural labor is acknowledged as a critical aspect of the economy by the Department of Homeland Security and falls in the category of essential critical infrastructure workers (Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2020; Jordan, 2020). This classification makes the recognition of the rights of farm workers to safe work environments with fair pay and compensation all the more important. The United Farm Workers of America have been waging this fight for more than half a century. The UFW today continues to organize for the rights of farm workers to form unions and engage in collective bargaining. The union’s long and successful history of organizing and advocacy connects directly with education and research that inform policy development to meet the union’s mission of a safe and just food supply. https://doi.org/10.1080/10496505.2021.1901182

ABSTRACT In the United States, state and federal programs, rules, and legislation attempt to address the social, economic, and environmental impacts of food waste. Research on the efficacy of these interventions rely on a variety of grey literature resources. Grey literature is valuable to policy research but may be overlooked because it is not published commercially and is often deemed unauthoritative. This review focuses on the use of grey literature in food waste law and policy scholarship to identify the most used sources and to determine what, if any, archiving strategies authors use. Recommendations for librarians and researchers are discussed. This article has been republished with minor changes. These changes do not impact the academic content of the article.
