Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agricultural systems worldwide face increasing challenges from climate change, resource constraints, and the need to feed a growing population sustainably. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) offers an integrated framework to enhance productivity, resilience, and reduce environmental impacts of climate change on agriculture.
This Special Issue highlights CSA technologies that integrate scientific innovation, system approaches, and actionable solutions to address the complex effects of climate change on agriculture. It encompasses interdisciplinary advances in agronomy, engineering design, climate modeling, socio-economic assessments, and digital decision-support tools across diverse agroecological and policy contexts.
We invite original research, reviews, and case studies that advance the scientific understanding, system integration, and practical deployment of CSA technologies. Contributions demonstrating stakeholder co-development, scalable implementation, and policy relevance are particularly encouraged.
This Issue aims to consolidate cutting-edge research and real-world applications that promote sustainable agricultural development by enhancing productivity, resilience, and environmental mitigation. By linking innovation with practice, it seeks to support the transformation of global agriculture toward long-term sustainability and climate resilience.
Unlike much of the existing literature focusing on isolated CSA practices, this Special Issue uniquely emphasizes the integration of science and technology within systems-based frameworks and decision-support tools. It supplements current knowledge by bridging empirical research, technological advances, policy considerations, and stakeholder engagement to foster comprehensive and actionable pathways for climate-resilient agriculture.

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. AgriEngineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
