Agroecology Innovation: Achieving System Resilience

A section of Agronomy (ISSN 2073-4395).

Section Information

Since agricultural systems are influenced by environmental factors and economic instability, it is crucial to develop optimal strategies for designing and managing these systems to ensure the long-term sustainability of global food production. Aiming to bridge the gap between agroecosystem theory and agricultural practice, this approach offers insights to develop more adaptive, productive, and sustainable agroecosystems by exploring energy exchange and material cycling among soil, crops, and the atmosphere, along with the biological, physical, chemical, and management processes and their interactions.

The section ‘Agroecology Innovation: Achieving System Resilience’ addresses research on crop physiology, genetics and breeding, pest and disease management, soil fertility and plant nutrition, landscape ecology, production techniques, and economics, but only when these topics are examined within an agroecological framework and in relation to their role in strengthening agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability, and economic resilience under climate change.

This section welcomes original research papers, reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives, methodologies, simulation models, and scientific data articles related to agricultural production and the environment. Submissions with a particular emphasis on global climate change and the pursuit of long-term agricultural sustainability are especially encouraged.

Areas of interest include some of the following:

  • Systems modeling and simulation;
  • Genetics and Breeding;
  • Crop physiology;
  • Soil fertility and nutrition;
  • Plant–Microbe Interactions;
  • Biotechnology;
  • Landscape ecology;
  • Economics.
