Climate Smart Agriculture provides a platform for communicating advances in fundamental and applied research on agriculture in relation to climate change. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, short communications, perspectives and comments, with an emphasis on, but not limited to the following:Greenhouse gas emission mitigation in agricultureCarbon capture and sequestration in agroecosystemsImpacts of climate change on agricultureAdaptation of agriculture to climate change
Water, Food, and PowerThis is an inter-disciplinary journal which covers the deep, broad, meaningful convergence between Energy, Water, and Agriculture. The journal topics will include grid systems dynamics, power-plant cooling, hydrology, increased production planning, aquaculture, biomass fuels, hydropower, renewable energy, energy system dynamics modeling and informatics as well as other topics.The need for the journal is the growing competition, collaboration, and demand for finite natural resources for use in energy production, water, and agriculture. This journal considers policy in its broad reaching scope, hoping to serve as a forum for discussion.Journal Topics:Energy:Water use in bioenergy, power plants, Hydropower, shale gas extractionNET ZERO or negative emissions energy systemsEnergy and Thermodynamic analysisCarbon and Water FootprintHydrogen energyWater use in carbon capture and storageMaterials utilization and recycling in the Energy industryEnergy efficiency and the circular economyEnergy cost in water use and/or agricultural systemsWaste to energyWater:Wastewater (Collection / Treatment / Disposal)Water footprintHydrology and water cycleDesalinationWater quality and the ecosystemIrrigation and water use in the agri-food industryRecovery of energy and materials from wastewatersBlue economyAgriculture:Agriculture (Irrigated and Rain-Fed, Livestock, Aquaculture)Food industryNutrients and soilEcological Footprint, land use and land use changeBiodiversityPlant physiology (Photosynthesis, Evapotraspiration)Utilization of byproducts and residuesBioeconomyVertical farming and urban farmingMacroalgae and microalgae cultivationModeling:System Dynamics ModelingBig Data Informatics and AIOptimization models and Governance ToolsLCA (Social LCA, LCC, eLCA)Input-Output LCA analysis and econometricsSustainable development Policies and SDGsResources and materials flow analysis through GIS and Remote sensingThis journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities)
Farming System provides a platform to discuss farming system design, integrated crop and livestock production, farming management, and economic and sustainable development. The journal publishes original scientific papers, reviews, short communications, perspectives, and comments.The scope of Farming System includes:Farming System Design and Innovation: development and application of tools and methods for farming system design and management; decision-making and resource allocation in farming system; sustainability assessment and design of farming system and decision support tools; crop distribution and resources sustainability; crop modeling at either farm-, landscape-, regional-, national- and global-scale; the application of remote sensing in monitoring production at farm to global scale; farming system optimization;Farming System Development and Assessment: regional agricultural green development assessment; food security assessment from the perspective of farming system; the synergism assessment of crop production, economic benefits, ecosystem services, environmental sustainability of farming system; farming systems life cycle assessment (LCA); water footprint, carbon footprint, nitrogen footprint and other environmental footprints of farming system; crop resilience and adaption to climatic change;Sustainable Farming Management: sustainable intensification of resources, lower environmental consequence, carbon sequestration and emission reduction. For instance, diversified cropping, the combination of farming and animal husbandry, organic farming, low-carbon farming, eco-farming, green farming, circular agriculture, conservation agriculture, regenerative agriculture, environment-friendly agriculture, and climate-smart agriculture;Crop, Soil, and Environment Interactions: the mechanism of crop, soil, and environment interactions; crop growth process under different environments; the soil processes and microbial mechanisms supporting high crop yield, high efficiency, and low environmental impact;Research Frontier and Interdisciplinary in Farming System: new ideas, hypotheses, theories, and technologies that are adopted or fulfilled to solve the problems in farming system research and practice, such as new materials (nano-, chemical-, etc.), smart agriculture.
