The Future of Climate-Neutral and Resilient Agriculture Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The concept of a climate-neutral and resilient agricultural system is increasingly vital as the world confronts climate change and food security challenges. Traditional farming practices, including monoculture, excessive chemical use, and deforestation, contribute to greenhouse gas emissions while making agriculture vulnerable to climate-related disturbances like droughts and floods. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative concepts and strategies for transforming agricultural systems to achieve climate neutrality and resilience. It will highlight the need for reimagining agriculture to reduce carbon emissions, adapt to climate impacts, and secure food for future generations. We welcome contributions on various topics, including but not limited to the following:

• Climate Change Mitigation in Agriculture;
• Agroecology and Regenerative Practices;
• Technological Innovations in Agriculture;
• Sustainable and Circular Food Systems;
• Policy and Economic Aspects;
• Socioeconomic Impacts;
• Global Case Studies;
• Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity in Resilience.

Submissions from researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry experts that provide new insights, data, or frameworks in these areas are highly encouraged. Contributions may include research articles, reviews, case studies, policy papers, and technical reports.
