Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent studies having established that climate change has a significantly adverse effect on food security. Moreover, the impact of climate change is becoming prominent in our daily lives. Similarly, climate change—being a significant constraint to a balanced environment and food security—and crop production influence each other, leading virtually all researchers to search for superior adaptation strategies for plant life under this problem. Nevertheless, crop production methods and technologies are available for combating the effects of climate change. Modern techniques and tools, such as the use of wild species, new agronomical practices, genomic tools, genetic engineering and the use of growth regulators, are some strategies used to combat the effects of climate change on crop production. With the advancement of these approaches, it has become easier to uncover methods for specific crops and the stresses hampering their production. Moreover, there are several approaches targeted for regions and, sometimes, there is a need to incorporate several strategies to achieve targets. In this Special Issue, prominent researchers are invited to communicate their original research and review articles exploring the “Integration of Sustainable Agriculture Approaches for Food Security under Climate Change”. The Special Issue critically follows the policies of Sustainability, concerning the submission, publication, review process, etc. We kindly ask that you review these before attempting a submission.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
