Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue of Horticulturae is to present current original research articles and review articles focused on “Sustainable Horticulture in Marginal Environments”. Achieving food security sustainably is facing a number of environmental challenges, which are particularly pronounced in countries and regions dominated by an arid climate. Limited water resources, coupled with salinity and harsh environmental conditions, potentially limit the range of crops that can be sustainably grown, and therefore do little to alleviate dependence on imported food crops. Being aware of the efforts and initiatives taken in recent years by a number of stakeholders, we wish to invite submissions of relevant research works and state-of-the-art review articles in order to highlight the most recent and impactful developments. Sustainable solutions to increase crop production and alleviate the predicted negative impact of global climate changes to improve food security, reduce vulnerability, and increase resilience, constitute the major focus of this Special Issue. Novel and modern agricultural technologies, controlled environment horticulture, developments in postharvest techniques and methods, and efforts to improve supply chains are all within the scope of this Issue.
