  3. Microbial Applications in Agriculture:
    There is an increasing focus on the use of beneficial microorganisms in agriculture, including biofertilizers and biopesticides, reflecting a shift towards sustainable agricultural inputs.
  4. Socio-ecological Systems and Farmer Participation:
    Emerging research emphasizes participatory approaches involving local communities in agricultural decision-making, recognizing the importance of social dynamics in sustainable agriculture.
  5. Food Security and Nutrition:
    Recent publications are increasingly addressing the intersection of agriculture and food security, focusing on strategies to enhance nutrition and access to food in vulnerable populations.

Declining or Waning

As research priorities shift, certain themes within 'Biotechnologie Agronomie Société et Environnement' have shown a decline in publication frequency, indicating a potential waning interest or saturation of research in these areas.
  1. Traditional Agricultural Knowledge:
    While previously a focus, recent publications suggest a decline in studies centered on traditional agricultural practices and knowledge systems, possibly due to a shift towards more technologically driven approaches.
  2. Invasive Species Studies:
    Research on invasive species and their management has decreased, possibly reflecting a growing consensus on the need for integrated ecological approaches rather than singular focus on invasive species.
  3. Chemical Fertilization Techniques:
    There appears to be a reduced emphasis on studies focusing solely on chemical fertilizers, as the journal increasingly promotes organic and sustainable alternatives.
  4. Single Crop Systems:
    Research dedicated to single crop systems is less prominent, with a noticeable shift towards multi-crop and agroecological approaches that enhance resilience and biodiversity.
  5. Historical Agricultural Practices:
    Studies examining historical practices in agriculture have diminished, indicating a move towards contemporary issues and future-oriented solutions in agricultural research.
