Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore innovative approaches to agriculture that integrate biodiversity, climate strategies, and public policy innovations to achieve sustainable and resilient agriculture. Interdisciplinary research that defines, quantifies, measures, and monitors the performance of agricultural systems using comprehensive methodologies that combine quantitative and qualitative analyses is invited.
The scope of this proposal encompasses studies on evaluating biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, mechanisms for adapting to climate change in the agricultural sector, the development and application of technological tools to promote agricultural sustainability, and an analysis of regulatory frameworks that foster agricultural sustainability. The purpose is to provide an integrative, multidisciplinary space that complements the existing literature, offering new approaches and methodologies to support decision-making in the sustainable management of agricultural activities.
The publication of this Special Issue is intended to contribute to the debate and implementation of comprehensive solutions in the agricultural and environmental fields, in line with the current challenges and the objectives of the United Nations Agenda 2030.
