Worldwide Trends in Agronomy Research: Bibliometric Studies – Series II

Dear Colleagues,

Agriculture is the world’s most pressing and responsible sector, given that seven billion people must eat every day. To achieve this, there are the following three priority issues: health, variety, and quantity. Agriculture, therefore, is the cultivation of land or the production of crops from the soil, but its main science of study is agronomy. Agronomy can be understood as the field of science that oversees organizing the knowledge of various applied sciences, focused on enhancing the quality of production processes and the transformation of agricultural products. Globally, food security is at risk, and for this reason, agronomy must achieve agricultural sustainability on Earth. In summary, Agronomy should contribute to improve the efficiency in the use of resources for food production. One of the main objectives of this Special Issue is to contribute studies that help to identify the global research trends in agronomy, especially if they have an approach related to sustainability. Therefore, articles reviewing this state of the art in any of these issues, bibliometric or scientometric studies, and research articles with a global perspective are welcome. These studies are recommended to identify the research trends in each scientific field related to agronomy and, if possible, identify the open challenges in that particular field of study.
