Technologies for Next Generation Crop Improvement and Sustainability
This special issue belongs to the section “Sustainable Agriculture“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last century, global scientists and policy makers have been working together to build a world without hunger and malnutrition. However, food security is still a dream to billions of people who have been facing chronic hunger and acute malnutrition. In addition to rapid population increase, climate change, and natural disasters like outbreak of pandemic diseases severely affected world food supply. A sustainable improvement of agricultural production technologies and management practices can ensure continuous supply of nutritional foods to the ever-growing population of theworld. It is, therefore, a tremendous task to the scientists to overcome these challenges by developing novel ideas and innovating technologies to develop a hunger free and healthy next generation.
Through this research topic, we aimed to deliver new knowledge towards scientific communities by providing current research updates of technological advancement in increasing agricultural production, food nutrition and sustainability. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite authors to submit original research articles and reviews. Topic of interest includes, but are not limited to, the following:
- Current practices in sustainable agricultural production.
- Crop management for increased profitability, productivity and adaptation.
- Methods of crop genetic improvement
- Novel agricultural technologies.
- Integrating technologies to improve production efficiency, profitability and sustainability
- Application of technologies for farm profitability, efficient food supply, and human health.
- Technologies for Net zero carbon emmission.
- Technologies for clamate change adaptation.
- Technologies for sustainable pest management.
- Innovative and efficient post-harvest technologies.
- Micribiome for agricultural sustainability and yield enhancement.
