Advancing Sustainable Agriculture Management through Remote Sensing in Smallholder Production Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Remote sensing has gained increasing attention as a valuable tool for sustainable agriculture management, particularly in smallholder production systems in developing countries. The demand for research in this area is increasing, as remote sensing can facilitate sustainable development and improve rural livelihoods. The applications of remote sensing, including monitoring crop growth and yield, assessing soil fertility and moisture levels, tracking land use and land cover changes, and mapping the distribution of pests and diseases, are now available at different scales and significantly reducing costs. This Special Issue focuses on applying remote sensing to promote and develop sustainable agriculture management in smallholder production systems. We welcome papers covering various topics that highlight the potential of remote sensing to support decision-making and facilitate the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. The collection of research papers in this Special Issue will be a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to harness the power of remote sensing for sustainable agriculture management and rural development in developing countries.

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
