International Congress on Ecological Agriculture, Biodiversity & Waste Management on January 14-16, 2027 in Istanbul, Turkey

Topics

Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:

1. Independent Core Topics

These topics represent the foundational, standalone pillars of each distinct field.

Ecological Agriculture Foundations

Agroecological Design Principles: Designing farms modeled on natural ecosystems.

Soil Biology and Living Soils: The study of mycorrhizal fungi, soil microbes, and soil structure.

Alternative Farming Systems: Foundational practices of Permaculture, Biodynamic farming, and Natural Farming (Masanobu Fukuoka method).

Sustainable Water Harvesting: Swales, keyline design, and drip irrigation optimization.

Biodiversity Mechanics

Taxonomic Diversity in Ecosystems: Monitoring flora, fauna, and insect populations.

Genetic Diversity and Seed Sovereignty: Preserving heirloom crops, landraces, and open-pollinated seed banks.

Habitat Fragmentation: The physics of how breaking up landscapes impacts wildlife breeding and survival.

Trophic Cascades: How the removal or introduction of apex predators impacts lower-level species.

Waste Management Systems

The Waste Hierarchy: The standalone mechanics of Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle.

Industrial and Urban Solid Waste Lifecycle: Collection, sorting logistics, and landfill management.

Hazardous and E-Waste Processing: Chemically treating toxic materials and extracting heavy metals.

Plastic Upcycling and Material Science: Developing biodegradable polymers and mechanical recycling techniques.

2. Interrelated Cross-Over Topics

These areas represent the active intersections where two or more of these fields merge to create sustainable systems.

The Intersection of Eco-Agriculture & Biodiversity

Functional Agrobiodiversity: Intentionally introducing specific plants to attract beneficial predatory insects, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.

Polyculture and Intercropping Matrixes: Growing mutually beneficial crops simultaneously (such as the traditional "Three Sisters" combination of corn, beans, and squash) to optimize spatial and nutrient efficiency.

Pollinator-Friendly Farming: Managing hedgerows, field margins, and cover crops to provide year-round forage and nesting sites for wild bees, butterflies, and bats.

Agroforestry and Silvopasture: Integrating trees with crops or livestock grazing to create multi-tiered canopy habitats that mimic natural woodlands while producing food.

The Intersection of Eco-Agriculture & Waste Management

Closed-Loop Nutrient Cycling: Transforming farm outputs like crop residues and animal bedding into stabilized soil amendments.

On-Farm Composting Infrastructure: The biochemistry of managing carbon-to-nitrogen ratios using thermophilic (heat-loving) composting, vermicomposting (earthworms), and static aerated piles.

Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Production: Utilizing livestock manure and organic waste to capture methane gases for renewable energy, while utilizing the leftover nutrient-rich digestate as a bio-fertilizer.

Regenerative Biomass Management: Converting woody agricultural waste into biochar through pyrolysis (heating in the absence of oxygen) to permanently lock carbon into the soil.

The Intersection of Biodiversity & Waste Management

Ecotoxicology and Wildlife Protection: Mitigating the impact of mismanaged waste, microplastics, and heavy metal leaching on terrestrial and aquatic wildlife populations.

Landfill Bioremediation and Ecological Reclamation: Using specific native plants (phytoremediation) and fungi (mycoremediation) to clean up contaminated industrial brownfields and old dump sites, eventually restoring them to biodiverse wildlife sanctuaries.

Circular Bioeconomy of Organic Waste: Diverting urban food waste away from landfills—where it rots into harmful greenhouse gases—and processing it into high-protein animal feed or insect frass to protect wild marine fish stocks.

Plastic Pollution and Marine Habitats: Tracking and solving the lifecycle of agricultural plastics (like greenhouse films and silage wraps) to prevent them from breaking down into microplastics that disrupt aquatic food webs.

3. The Tri-Sector Integration:

These subtopics represent the ultimate convergence point, where a single practice simultaneously improves ecological farming, maximizes biodiversity, and solves a waste management issue.

Regenerative Urban Agriculture Paradigms: Using city-wide organic food waste composting to feed urban soil networks, which reduces landfill strain, grows fresh local food, and creates micro-habitats for birds and insects in concrete environments.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) Farming: Utilizing an optimized waste-management insect to devour tons of organic food scraps, creating a high-protein poultry/fish feed that eliminates reliance on wild-caught ocean fish (protecting marine biodiversity) while generating nutrient-rich frass fertilizer for ecological crop growth.

Living Regenerative Wastewater Systems: Designing constructed wetlands and living machines that use biological waste (greywater and sewage) to feed diverse aquatic plants, microorganisms, and fish, resulting in crystal-clear water for agricultural irrigation while generating localized wildlife habitats.
