Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agriculture represented a major development in human history, which led to the rise and flourishing of civilization. It plays a critical role in human society, serving as the backbone of economic systems. Modern agriculture provides raw materials for most of the world’s food and for many industrial products, including textiles. Significant scientific and technological advances over the years have led to great increases in agricultural productivity, as well as to a reduction in environmental impacts. Nevertheless, agricultural systems of the future face huge challenges in balancing and optimizing productivity and profitability against the stewardship of ecosystems and natural resources. This conference will provide an online open forum for agricultural scientists and engineers to discuss these challenges and share their latest research achievements in agricultural science and technology. Sessions in the conference will be organized around the following topics:
- Climate-Smart Agriculture: Practices, Determinants, Productivity, and Efficiency;
- Ecosystem, Environment, and Climate Change in Agriculture;
- Agricultural Systems and Management;
- Zero-Pollution Solutions in Crop Protection;
- Agriculture Water Management;
- Smart Farming: From Sensor to Artificial Intelligence;
- Agricultural Soil;
- Crop Production;
- Farm Animal Production;
- From Field to Consumers: Challenges and Approaches to High- Quality Agricultural Products;
- Crop Genetics, Genomics and Breeding.
