Ecological Protection and Modern Agricultural Development

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid growth of the global economy, and the rapid expansion of human production activities, environmental problems such as climate warming, resource depletion, and population growth have become more and more serious; agriculture is one of the industries most affected by ecological issues. The coordinated development of modern agriculture and ecological protection has become a significant step toward achieving global sustainable development; however, in the face of the complex and changing developmental, environmental, and ecological issues, it is necessary to study the relationship between economic development models and environmental issues from a macro or micro-perspective, as well as effectively measure the level of sustainable development. This theme is open to research on environmental economics and management issues around agricultural green transformation, modern agricultural development, ecosystem protection, environmental protection and governance, and sustainable development, including but not limited to the following topics:

1. Innovation in green agricultural technologies and management.
2. Agricultural carbon footprints, energy conservation, emission reduction, and circular economy.
3. Applications of remote sensing in agriculture and ecology.
4. Valuation and transformation of ecological products.
5. Agricultural and ecological support and constraints of water resources.
6. Sustainable development of agri-food systems.
7. Cropland transformation and ecological conservation.
8. Synergistic studies on environmental protection, climate change, and agricultural production.
9. Ecosystem services in agricultural production.
10. Assessment of policy effects in agriculture and ecology.
11. The role of green finance and trade in enabling agricultural green transformation.
