Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The generation of wastes from the agricultural industry has continued to increase globally, resulting in stockpiling by-products in the environment. Innovative approaches to the management of agricultural waste and by-products are becoming increasingly important in the context of sustainable development and environmental protection. By implementing innovative waste valorization strategies, it is possible to use the full potential of agricultural waste, optimize resource utilization, and foster a more sustainable agricultural sector.
The scope of Agronomy is very broad, and particularly welcomes original, novel fundamental research. Agronomy also aims to provide a platform for the discussion, summary, review, and preview of agricultural waste management.
Full-length research articles, critical reviews, and short communications are accepted.
