Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change is one of the most important challenges facing the humanity, especially water and food security which is affecting almost all continents of the world. Industrialization and population growth in 21st century are considered to be the primary reasons for climate change resulting in huge impacts on soil, water, air, and food systems. In order to achieve UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 and make the world a better place global populations to thrive and revive the damaged ecological systems, we need to be innovative in developing technologies and practices for making sure that soil, air, and water pollution challenges are mitigated at a rapid pace in response to climate change.
