Geoinformation Technologies in Agriculture and Environment Protection for a Sustainable Future

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing demands for efficient and environmentally friendly land management, the development of advanced spatial methods and models has become a growing necessity. Agriculture and environment protection, as frequently inseparable disciplines in terms of a sustainable future, are of primary concern in ensuring optimal food production and biodiversity. The integration of geographic information systems (GIS) with modern geoinformation technologies, such as global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and remote sensing, increases the possibilities and scope of such approaches. This combination allows high efficiency and flexibility for suitability analyses in land management, precision agriculture, urban planning, and many other integral segments of land use. These suitability results serve as a basis for effective decision making in land management by selecting the best possible natural land-use options and minimizing the application of expensive and potentially toxic inputs in the environment.

I am pleased to invite you to this Special Issue, “Geoinformation Technologies in Agriculture and Environment Protection for a Sustainable Future”, which is designed to connect various interdisciplinary fields with modern, efficient, and flexible geoinformation technologies in the GIS environment for sustainable land management.

This Special Issue aims to enrich the present knowledge of the application of geoinformation technologies in agriculture and environment protection for efficient and sustainable land management. Submissions are encouraged to cover a broad range of topics that are conceptualized as the basis for decision making in sustainable land management. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: agricultural land management, environment protection, precision agriculture, urban planning, and other interdisciplinary sciences that are closely related to a sustainable future in the scope of agriculture and environment protection. Due to the flexibility of GIS and other geoinformation technologies various case studies are also encouraged for submission, which are valuable for experts from any location in the world to evaluate their own methodology in their chosen fields.

We look forward to receiving your contributions!

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
