Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, livestock, and land use have increased globally. Additionally, the increase in the human population emphasizes the importance of a stable supply of agricultural products and food. Therefore, it is essential to simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing the productivity of agricultural and food products.

This Special Issue focuses on technologies in intelligent and autonomous sensor systems for smart precision agriculture that improve agricultural productivity while tilting the global environment toward realizing food security. This Special Issue will encompass a variety of related contributions from the keywords mentioned below.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
