Trending and Emerging
- Sustainable Supply Chains and Food Security:
There is a growing emphasis on how sustainable supply chain practices can enhance food security, particularly in the context of small-scale farming and local production systems. - Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture:
Research increasingly focuses on specific adaptive strategies for agriculture in response to climate change, highlighting localized impacts and resilience-building measures. - Consumer Preferences for Sustainable Products:
Emerging studies are analyzing consumer attitudes towards sustainability in food products, including preferences for organic and locally sourced options, reflecting a shift in market dynamics. - Integration of Technology in Agriculture:
A significant trend is the exploration of digital tools and innovative technologies aimed at improving agricultural productivity and sustainability, including precision agriculture and smart farming techniques. - Circular Economy Approaches in Agrifood Systems:
The journal is seeing an increase in studies that discuss the integration of circular economy principles within agricultural practices, promoting waste reduction and resource efficiency.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Agricultural Practices:
Research related to traditional farming methods and their sustainability is becoming less frequent, potentially overshadowed by the need for innovative and technology-driven approaches. - Generalized Climate Change Studies:
While climate change remains a crucial topic, the specificity of studies addressing generalized impacts without focusing on adaptive strategies or localized solutions is declining. - Diverse Crop Studies:
Research focusing broadly on various crops without a specific emphasis on sustainability or innovation seems to be waning, as the journal shifts towards more targeted studies with direct implications for policy and practice. - Broad Economic Analyses:
General economic analyses that do not directly link to agricultural practices or food systems are less prevalent, as the emphasis moves towards integrative studies connecting economics with sustainability.
