Call for papers/Topics

Topics of interest for submission include any topics related to:

Core Independent Disciplines

1. Agricultural Sciences

This domain focuses on the primary production of plants, animals, and resources necessary for human survival.

Crop Science & Agronomy: Plant genetics, breeding, crop physiology, and weed/pest management.

Animal Science: Livestock production, animal nutrition, breeding/genetics, and veterinary health.

Soil Science & Edaphology: Soil chemistry, soil physics, soil microbiology, and fertility management.

Agricultural Engineering: Farm machinery, automated harvesting, irrigation systems, and structures.

Horticulture: The science of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants.

2. Food Science & Technology

This domain takes over post-harvest, focusing on how raw agricultural materials are transformed, preserved, and consumed.

Food Chemistry & Biochemistry: Chemical composition of food, enzymatic reactions, and nutrient stability.

Food Microbiology & Safety: Beneficial fermentation, food spoilage organisms, and foodborne pathogen control.

Food Processing & Engineering: Thermal processing, freezing, dehydration, and innovative packaging technologies.

Sensory Science: The study of how human senses perceive taste, texture, aroma, and appearance.

Nutritional Sciences: Human metabolism, dietetics, public health nutrition, and functional foods.

3. Environmental Sciences

This domain focuses on the broader natural world, studying ecosystems, earth systems, and human impacts on the planet.

Ecology & Conservation Biology: Biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, and habitat restoration.

Environmental Chemistry & Toxicology: Pollutant behavior in nature and the impact of chemicals on organisms.

Hydrology & Water Resources: Watershed management, groundwater dynamics, and water quality.

Atmospheric Sciences & Climate: Greenhouse gas dynamics, air pollution, and climate modeling.

Waste Management: Solid waste treatment, recycling systems, and landfill science.

Interrelated and Interdisciplinary Subtopics

The most critical global challenges lie at the intersections of these three major fields.

Agroecology & Sustainable Agriculture

Intersection of Agriculture and Environment

Regenerative Agriculture: Practices aimed at restoring soil health, biodiversity, and carbon capture.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Combining biological, cultural, and chemical tools to minimize environmental damage.

Precision Agriculture: Using GPS, drones, and IoT sensors to optimize water and fertilizer use, reducing chemical runoff.

Permaculture & Agroforestry: Designing agricultural systems that mimic natural ecosystems.

Food Security, Supply Chains, and Economics

Intersection of Food, Agriculture, and Socio-environmental Policy

Food Loss & Waste Reduction: Technologies and logistics designed to minimize food waste from the farm to the consumer.

Agricultural Economics: Market dynamics, global trade policies, and subsidies affecting food distribution.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Quantifying the total environmental footprint (carbon, water, land) of a food product from "cradle to grave."

Urban and Vertical Agriculture: Growing food in controlled environments inside cities to reduce transportation emissions.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering

The technical driver connecting all three domains

Genetic Engineering & CRISPR: Developing crops that are drought-resistant, pest-resistant, or biofortified with nutrients.

Biofuels & Bioenergy: Converting agricultural waste, algae, or dedicated energy crops into ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas.

Bioremediation: Using specialized microorganisms or plants to clean up agricultural runoff (like pesticides and fertilizers) from soil and water.

Climate Change Adaptation & Mitigation

The ultimate convergence of Food, Agriculture, and Environment

Carbon Sequestration: Managing agricultural soils and forestry to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Methane Mitigation: Altering livestock diets and manure management to reduce potent greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate-Smart Agriculture: Developing farming systems resilient to extreme weather, shifting growing seasons, and emerging pests.
