Trending and Emerging
- Biological Control and Biopesticides:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on the use of biological control agents and biopesticides, reflecting a trend towards sustainable pest management solutions. - Climate Resilience and Adaptation:
Research addressing the impacts of climate change on agricultural systems and exploring adaptive strategies is gaining prominence, indicating a recognition of the need for resilient agricultural practices. - Waste Utilization and Circular Economy in Agriculture:
Emerging themes include the recycling of agricultural waste and the implementation of circular economy principles, highlighting a growing concern for sustainability and resource efficiency. - Precision Agriculture Technologies:
There is a rising interest in precision agriculture technologies, such as remote sensing and data analytics, aimed at optimizing resource use and enhancing crop management. - Nutritional Quality of Agricultural Products:
An emphasis on the nutritional quality of food products, including studies on functional foods and nutraceuticals, showcases a trend towards improving public health through agriculture.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Crop Varieties:
Research on traditional or heirloom crop varieties has decreased, possibly due to a growing focus on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and high-yielding varieties that promise better economic returns. - Chemical Pest Control:
The emphasis on synthetic chemical pest control measures appears to be waning, likely due to increasing awareness of environmental impacts and a shift towards more sustainable pest management practices. - Urban Agriculture:
While once a growing area of interest, urban agriculture research has diminished, potentially as a result of more pressing issues related to rural agricultural practices and sustainability. - Conventional Farming Practices:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies focusing on conventional farming practices, as there is a growing preference for research that promotes organic and sustainable farming methods.
