Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, climate change driven by increasing greenhouse gas emissions has exhibited an alarming trend, characterized by rising global temperatures and sea levels, as well as an increase in extreme weather events and unpredictable weather patterns. These changes ultimately affect living organisms and food safety in numerous profound and interconnected ways, including water quality, shifts in crop growing seasons, soil health, and altered agricultural practices. The ubiquitous applications of sensors and sensor networks are believed to play a crucial role by providing real-time data and insights that inform decision-making and facilitate adaptive strategies.
The main goal of this Special Issue is to collect ideas, cutting-edge research achievements, fabrication and manufacturing technologies, and the latest progress on real-world practical applications of sensors and sensor networks in environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, food safety, and more. This Special Issue will encompass a variety of related contributions from different fields, including but not limited to the topics 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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
