Declining or Waning

While certain themes remain central to the journal's focus, others are gradually losing prominence. This decline may reflect shifts in agricultural priorities or emerging challenges that necessitate new research directions.
  1. Traditional Intensive Agriculture:
    Research centered on conventional, high-input agricultural systems is becoming less common as the journal shifts towards promoting sustainability and resilience.
  2. Purely Economic Assessments:
    There is a noticeable decline in studies that focus solely on economic profitability without considering environmental or social dimensions, as the journal moves towards a more holistic view of sustainability.
  3. Single-Crop Systems:
    The exploration of monoculture systems is decreasing, as the journal increasingly emphasizes diversification and intercropping strategies that enhance resilience and sustainability.
