Sustainability and Innovation in Agriculture for the Food Production of Tomorrow

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

At a time when the transition to sustainable agricultural systems is more urgent than ever, challenges related to food production, natural resource management, and the mitigation of environmental impacts require innovative and cross-sectoral solutions. Sustainable methods promote soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation, ensuring long-term productivity. In addition, emerging technologies such as precision farming, biotechnology, and AI-driven systems are transforming traditional practices to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact. By embracing innovation, agriculture can produce more with less, securing food systems for tomorrow’s generations. In line with current European sustainability and innovation policies, promoting the exchange of ideas and the development of solutions can guide the agriculture of the future. This Topic invites contributions on the most recent scientific advances, aimed at ensuring the sustainability and resilience of agri-food systems, while preserving the well-being of territories and society, taking into account the various disciplines of agriculture and their complementary actions.
