Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements and innovative methodologies associated with biosystem engineering that contribute to sustainable agricultural practices. It will focus on the integration of cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices that enhance agricultural productivity while minimizing their environmental impact. Topics include precision agriculture, advanced irrigation systems, the integration of renewable energy, the conservation of soil and water, and the use of data analytics for optimizing farming operations. This Special Issue will also explore the role of biosystems engineering in addressing global challenges such as climate change, food security, and resource management. By presenting case studies and research findings, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how innovative approaches to biosystem engineering can lead to more sustainable and resilient agricultural systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Precision agriculture technologies and their impact on crop yield and resource efficiency.
- Advanced irrigation systems and water management strategies for sustainable agriculture.
- The integration of renewable energy sources in agricultural operations.
- Soil health and conservation techniques to enhance productivity and sustainability.
- The application of data analytics and machine learning in order to optimize farming practices.
- Innovations in greenhouse and controlled environment agriculture.
- The role of biosystems engineering in mitigating the effects of climate change on agriculture.
- Case studies on the successful implementation of sustainable agricultural practices.
- Policy and economic analysis related to sustainable agriculture and resource management.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
