Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agriculture faces significant deficiencies in various regions worldwide, a primary cause of which is the alteration of specific weather patterns that threatens yields and food safety and plays a fundamental role in determining the viability of economically important species. The success of sound agricultural management is also influenced by the quality of the growing medium—insufficient concentrations of essential compounds (e.g., nutrients) or the presence of xenobiotics (e.g., non-essential heavy metals) disrupt plant development, leading to outcomes similar to those caused by weather-related risks. Therefore, adapting to and mitigating environmental change requires approaches that can maintain or increase productivity even under unpredictable and variable conditions while avoiding harm and conflict concerning environmental, social, and economic factors.
This Special Issue invites papers that significantly contribute to our understanding of sustainable management practices in agricultural operations. Particular emphasis is placed on research that introduces novel/innovative methods to alleviate the impacts of climate change and soil pollution in both crop cultivation and animal husbandry. Studies considering integrating these practices in advancing the green transition are highly welcomed. Recognizing that the topic spans multiple scientific and disciplinary areas, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches are also encouraged. This Special Issue is open to all article types, including original research, opinions, and reviews.
