About the Journal
The Journal of Agribusiness and Social Sciences (JASS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scholarship at the intersection of agribusiness, agricultural economics, rural development, and the broader social sciences. The journal provides a global platform for high-quality research that examines the economic, institutional, and social dynamics shaping modern agri-food systems and agribusiness development across diverse geographical and socio-economic contexts.
JASS seeks to bridge global perspectives with local realities by encouraging research that addresses both the opportunities and challenges associated with agribusiness development and rural transformation. The journal promotes academically rigorous and policy-relevant studies that deepen theoretical understanding while offering practical insights for building resilient, competitive, and inclusive agribusiness systems. Contributions published in JASS aim to inform decision-making processes, address structural challenges in agri-food markets, and support the development of agricultural systems that are economically viable, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable.
Operating with a global scope, JASS follows a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure the highest standards of academic integrity and methodological quality. The journal welcomes multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary contributions integrating perspectives from agricultural economics, rural sociology, development studies, business and management sciences, environmental policy, institutional economics, and related social science disciplines.
JASS publishes a range of scholarly contributions including original research articles, review articles, special issues, and commentaries that address contemporary challenges and emerging trends in agribusiness and rural development. Through this broad range of formats, the journal serves as a forum for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and development professionals working to strengthen agribusiness systems and improve rural livelihoods.
By fostering evidence-based dialogue and encouraging innovative approaches to agribusiness development, JASS aims to contribute to the advancement of sustainable, inclusive, and resilient agri-food systems worldwide.
