Environmental Pollution in Modern Agriculture: Causes, Effect, and Control

Dear Colleagues,

The problem of environmental pollution in modern agriculture is becoming increasingly severe. The root causes are complex, including the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, disorderly discharge of livestock and poultry waste, and unreasonable agricultural practices. These issues not only threaten the sustainable development of agriculture but also bring enormous pressure to the environment and human health. To further explore the causes, impacts, and response measures of these issues, we sincerely invite you to contribute to this Topic. We encourage you to explore the impact of current agricultural or land policies on promoting agricultural modernization from different perspectives and levels, examining how these policies directly or indirectly impact environmental quality, and how to alleviate pollution pressure through policy adjustments or technological innovation. We particularly encourage you to pay special attention to the role of digital and intelligent technologies, as well as delving into how to effectively control agricultural pollution and promote the application of ecological agriculture technologies. At the same time, we also encourage analysis of the impact of environmental pollution on agricultural ecosystems and socio-economic development, as well as the proposal of practical and feasible governance measures and solutions to provide strong support for the green development of modern agriculture.

The Topic focuses on green agricultural development and agricultural pollution issues, encompassing key areas like ecological agriculture, smart agriculture, green agricultural technology, agricultural and rural policies, and agricultural and rural modernization. Through these studies, we aim to promote the green transformation of the agricultural system and achieve the goal of sustainable agricultural development. We eagerly anticipate your outstanding submissions and look forward to jointly contributing our expertise to promoting green development in modern agriculture.
