Innovations in Industrial Crops and Processing

Innovations in Industrial Crops and Processing publishes original research, reviews, and short communications on recent innovations and novel technologies for cultivated plants of industrial interest, including food, non-food, and non-feed crops, as well as threatened and endangered species. The journal emphasizes hypothesis-driven, reproducible studies relevant to an international audience.

The scope includes research on:

• Industrial crop management practices and innovative propagation and harvest techniques

• Breeding and genetic technologies for crop improvement

• Sustainable farming systems and climate-resilient strategies

• Biofuels, biomaterials, and biochemicals derived from crop byproducts

• Nanomaterials and smart production technologies

• AI applications, agricultural sensors, and precision farming

• Valorization of crop processing byproducts for high-value products

• Life cycle and techno-economic analysis of emerging industrial crops

Studies must demonstrate significant biological activity for bioactive compounds; preliminary extract-based or purely descriptive work will not be considered. Preference is given to concise, clearly written papers addressing well-framed hypotheses and impactful solutions for sustainability and innovation.
