Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution caused by anthropogenic activities remains a global threat to agricultural ecology and food security. To address this challenge, there is a growing need to move beyond conventional remediation towards advanced, integrated solutions that not only mitigate pollution but also enhance agricultural productivity and ecosystem resilience.
To date, multiple innovative technologies for environmental mitigation/remediation have been developed. However, recent research has shifted focus toward next-generation approaches, including nanomaterials, biochar composites, microbial consortia, and precision bioremediation, which offer higher efficiency and lower environmental impact. Additionally, macro-environmental planning and ecological engineering increasingly play critical roles in guiding sustainable restoration. Despite these advances, significant research gaps remain in scaling up these technologies and assessing their long-term effects on agricultural systems.
This Special Issue, entitled "Advanced Technologies for Agricultural Environmental Remediation and Enhancement," will showcase cutting-edge research that bridges the gap between emerging pollution challenges and advanced technological solutions. It focuses on both the remediation of degraded agricultural environments and the active enhancement of soil health, water quality, and ecosystem functionality.
New research articles, reviews, and case reports are welcome. Manuscripts that discuss novel technological applications, remediation mechanisms, risk assessment, and management strategies for agricultural enhancement are all encouraged.
We encourage prospective authors to submit distinguished research manuscripts focused on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Advanced materials for soil and water remediation;
- Bioremediation technology application;
- Precision agriculture;
- environmental monitoring and management;
- Integrated strategies for farmland conservation and nutrient utilization;
- Enhancement of soil fertility, biodiversity, and ecosystem services;
- Soil fertility and solid waste utilization;
- Carbon and nitrogen cycles;
- Agricultural resilience;
- AI-based Agricultural Environment Enhancement.
Original research articles, reviews, and case studies are all welcome. This Special Issue will feature high-quality papers that advance the existing knowledge base and drive innovation in the use of advanced technologies for agricultural environmental remediation and enhancement.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
