Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current climate challenges require immediate and precise inventions from researchers, trainers, teachers, and professionals working in relevant disciplines. This is essential for increasing awareness among farmers and all those directly involved in obtaining sustainable agricultural production. Moreover, all issues related to soil carbon sequestration, organic farming, sustainable agricultural technologies, and agricultural digitalization are considered top priorities in the evolution of agricultural research, reversing negative climatic effects worldwide. Since demographic growth increases the demand for food, agricultural production must adapt to new areas of cultivation and use innovative technologies to become more sustainable and efficient. Emphasis will be placed on the series of methods used to transform traditional agriculture into a sustainable and modern form of agriculture, avoiding higher costs, using fewer chemical products, and by highlighting positive impacts on the environment.
In this Special Issue, a particular approach will be dedicated to smart solutions, innovative technologies, advanced research, and clear results, leading to an effective model for sustainable agricultural production.
