About this publication

SCAN is an independent practical journal about sustainable production, food and the decisions that connect small producers with markets and households. Coffee and cooperative learning are central subjects.

Our byline, SCAN Editorial Desk, names the publication’s collective editorial function. It does not imply a fabricated individual, field office, qualification or personal farming experience. Articles explain published evidence and clearly identified practical reasoning.

This publication is not the former Sustainable Commodity Assistance Network and does not claim its partnerships, funding, awards or programme results. The historical identity page explains that distinction.

We favour a useful question over a broad promise: what must a delivery record show, what makes a training session usable, or what evidence supports a claim about a coffee plot? Read the editorial policy for our approach to sources and limits.
