REA enters Scopus directly in Q2!
We are pleased to inform that REA-Italian Review of Agricultural Economics enters Scopus directly at the top levels: with a measure equal to 1.7 of the first CiteScore, calculated for 2022, REA is already in Q2 for two subject categories and in Q3 for another 5. The provisional data of 2023 shows a further improvement in the index (1.8). The measure certifies the excellent work carried out by the previous Editorial Board, by the FUP and by the International Scientific Committee. It also burdens us with a heavy responsibility, calling us to raise an already high bar. We are sure that, with the collaboration of the community of agricultural economists, we will be able to improve this important result. For this reason, we invite you to submit your articles and to read the REA: you will surely find inspiration for the methodologies and the interpretation of the results.
Next stops: Web of Sciences accreditation and Q1 class.

Issue Description
Special focus on Food Policies in Transition
This Special Focus aims to contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding food policies, which are increasingly prevalent in urban areas worldwide, including Italy. These policies intervene in various aspects of food production, distribution and consumption, often with the aim of facilitating a just transition within the agri-food system and engaging diverse groups of stakeholders. The selected articles provide a general framework for integrating food policies into overall governance structures and explore specific topics such as food safety and public procurement.
