Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution poses significant challenges to agroecosystems, affecting productivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem health. Sustainable solutions are critical to addressing these challenges. Recent advances in environmental biotechnology and bioprocess engineering offer innovative approaches to pollution control, focusing on leveraging biological processes and systems to remediate contaminants (e.g., emerging contaminants) while minimizing environmental impact. These advancements include the development of bio-based and novel technologies, such as the use of microbial consortia and new insights into degradation pathways, wastewater treatment, and remediation techniques, tailored to specific agroecosystem contexts. The journal Agriculture proposes this Special Issue to showcase the latest high-quality research in this area. We welcome submissions of original articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
The following subtopics are welcome:
- Bio-based technologies to reduce emerging contaminants (pesticides, antibiotics, among others) in agroecosystems;
- Impact of emerging contaminants on soil and water health;
- The role of integrating bioprocess in the reduction in environmental pollution in agroecosystems ;

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
