A new Special Issue has just been published in the New Zealand Geographer on the topic of Antipodean more-than-human geographies. It features some AFRN names in the authorship, and a number of articles are directly or indirectly relevant to food. Many contributions in this special edition were presented in various forms at the New Zealand Geographical Society Conference in 2022 and now it is great to see them in print.
Congratulations to all the authors! See below for details:
