About the journal
Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems is devoted to the rapidly emerging fields of agroecology and sustainable agriculture. The journal focuses on the changes that need to occur in the design and management of our food systems in order to balance natural resource use and environmental protection with the needs of production, economic viability, and social well-being.
Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems examines our current food systems from production to consumption, and the urgent need to transition to long-term sustainability. The journal promotes the study and application of sustainable agriculture for solutions to the complex problems of resource depletion, environmental degradation, a narrowing of agrobiodiversity, continued world hunger, climate change, and the loss of farm land. Rather than focus on separate disciplinary components of agriculture and food systems, this journal uses an interdisciplinary approach to food production as one process in a complex landscape of agricultural production, conservation, and human interaction.
The Journal features articles on topics such as:
- innovative practices
- new technology
- IPM (Integrated Pest Management) programs
- organic and biodynamic farming
- sustainable energy use
- economic, social, and philosophical aspects of sustainable agriculture
- linking conservation and agriculture
- landscape agroecology
- agriculture and global climate change
- indicators of sustainability
- sustainable farm policy
- future projections
The journal offers national and international coverage and features articles on specific disciplines and interdisciplinary studies. Also included are book reviews, news watch, announcements, dialogue (positions, opinions, commentary, and letters), and topical reviews.
Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems is intended for research scientists who work for international, national, and state agricultural research stations and centers, educators, extension workers, farmers, food and fiber processors, students, as well as civic-minded citizens, planners and policymakers, those involved in environmental or ecological activities, and anyone concerned with the health and welfare of food systems and farming communities around the world.
