The general aim of this dossier is to contribute to comparative discussion of the geohistorical trajectories of coffee in Latin America and the Greater Caribbean from its early stages up to the present and for various periods, setting them within a long-term perspective. We seek to do this by shedding light on the various scales -both national and regional or territorial, cross-border or supranational, from farms to the broadest trade circuits- of all aspects of coffee-related activities.

We invite submissions of unpublished articles to the journal Historia Agraria de América Latina (HAAL) for the dossier Agriculture and Food in Latin America and the Caribbean: History, Practices, and Resistances (16th–21st Centuries). This dossier aims to bring together historical research that analyzes the relationship between agriculture and food as an integrated and changing system over time in Latin America, based on the following question: How has the relationship between agriculture and food in Latin America transformed, and what challenges does it face today?
