Sustainable Agricultural Economics and Policy

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable agriculture is growing day by day with the aim to produce food and energy in a sustainable way for the growing human population and to support inclusive growth and development. By 2050, the world’s population will reach 9.1 billion, 34 percent higher than today. Food production must increase in line with the sustainability goals. Agricultural policy could play a strategic role, but it is important to outline that sustainable agriculture is influenced by a host of social, economic, and environmental factors.

This Special Issue is aimed at soliciting original contributions from academics and researchers providing theoretical insights and/or empirical analysis, which address socioeconomic and/or environmental dimensions of sustainable agriculture, sustainable economics, and agricultural policy that can provide valuable lessons for the future. We encourage submissions from allied areas, business, economic sustainability, entrepreneurship and business sustainability, green marketing, industry and sustainability, etc. The editors especially encourage submissions applying cross-disciplinary approaches and the use of a variety of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methodologies in social sciences. The scope of submission includes original research and review articles that address the issues raised above.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Sustainability.
