Advances in Agricultural Engineering for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Dear Colleagues,

In a world grappling with growing population demands and the threats of climate change, agricultural engineering must become a pivotal force that fosters a more sustainable, efficient, and resilient future. Therefore, the latest advances must be focused on the consecution of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nations Member States and outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Among them, those related to No Poverty, No Hunger, Climate Action, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, or Affordable and Clean Energy should be highlighted as central to agricultural engineering.

This Special Issue aims to seek high-quality research and review articles that show novel scientific findings on the advances, developments, and innovative solutions in agricultural engineering that help to improve the level of knowledge and technology centred around pressing 21st century challenges.

Topics covered by the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• power and machinery for modern farming and cropping systems;
• land and water use and the environment;
• biosystems Engineering: agricultural constructions and infrastructure;
• automation and emerging technologies;
• precision agriculture and precision farming;
• bioenergy and non-food production;
• crop production;
• processing and post-harvest technology and logistics.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
