Agricultural Environment and Rural Economy, Policy and Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decades, major changes have been shaking the world, and agriculture is not stranger to them. The abandonment of rural areas, barriers in international trading, the climate change and environmental degradation are relevant aspects transforming the agricultural domain in a notorious way. In addition, new trends in consumption and innovative technologies add to the complex challenges facing the agri-food system.

In this special issue the contributions that may help to analyse the impact of these new trends in economy, society and environment will be welcomed. Submissions could be related, but not restricted to the following topics:

- Agricultural policies.

- Rural development.

- Local and global markets.

- New technologies in agriculture and environment.

- International trading.

- Agrifood marketing.

We would be pleased if researchers from different disciplines such as economics, management, business, marketing, sociology, statistics and others were willing to send us their contributions.
