Cover Story: This volume aims to gather the proceedings presented at the 1st International Electronic Conference on Agronomy, held on 3–17 May 2021 online. The world’s agricultural systems face a great balancing act between two challenges: (1) increasing the production of high-quality and safe food on the available farmland to feed the global population which is expected to grow to more than 9.3 billion by 2050, and (2) reducing agriculture’s impact on the environment. Balancing these two challenges is the major focus for scientists, extension specialists, and producers, mandating an intelligent use of resources in agriculture production. Agricultural production depends to a large extent on limited, non-renewable, and strategic resources: soil, water, nutrients, and energy. This conference is an opportunity to communicate our shared passion for agronomy.
