Call for papers/Topics



Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:



I. Foundational Concepts & Interconnections




  • Defining Ecological Agriculture: Principles, practices, and philosophies (e.g., agroecology, organic farming, regenerative agriculture, permaculture).

  • Biodiversity in Agricultural Systems: Agrobiodiversity (crop varieties, livestock breeds, microbial diversity, pollinators, beneficial insects), wild biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, soil biodiversity.

  • The Food-Health-Environment Nexus: Understanding the complex relationships between food production, environmental health, and human well-being.

  • Ecosystem Services in Agriculture: Pollination, pest control, nutrient cycling, water regulation, soil health, climate regulation.



II. Ecological Agriculture Practices & Impacts




  • Sustainable Farming Methods: Crop rotation, cover cropping, reduced tillage, integrated pest management (IPM), nutrient management, water conservation.

  • Organic and Biodynamic Farming: Standards, benefits, challenges, and scalability.

  • Agroforestry and Polyculture: Integrating trees and multiple crops for enhanced biodiversity and productivity.

  • Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in Agriculture: Indigenous practices and their relevance for sustainable food systems.

  • Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Agriculture: Carbon sequestration, drought resilience, climate-smart agriculture.

  • Precision Agriculture and Technology: How technology can support ecological principles.

  • Farm-to-Fork Strategies: Connecting sustainable production with healthy consumption.



III. Biodiversity Conservation in Agricultural Landscapes




  • Measuring and Monitoring Agrobiodiversity: Indicators, tools, and data collection.

  • Conservation of Genetic Resources: Seed banks, gene banks, in situ and ex situ conservation.

  • Habitat Restoration and Creation: Hedgerows, buffer zones, wildlife corridors, semi-natural habitats.

  • Pollinator Conservation: Strategies to protect and enhance pollinator populations.

  • Soil Biodiversity and Health: Microorganisms, soil structure, and their role in ecosystem function.

  • Impact of Pesticides and Fertilizers on Biodiversity: Alternatives and reduction strategies.

  • Policy and Incentives for Biodiversity-Friendly Farming: Subsidies, certifications, market mechanisms.



IV. Public Health Dimensions




  • Nutritional Quality of Food: How ecological agriculture impacts nutrient density, phytochemicals, and overall dietary quality.

  • Food Safety and Contaminants: Reduction of pesticide residues, antibiotics, and other harmful substances in food.

  • Zoonotic Diseases and One Health: The link between agricultural practices, biodiversity loss, and the emergence of infectious diseases.

  • Farmer Health and Safety: Occupational hazards, mental health, and access to healthcare in rural communities.

  • Dietary Patterns and Health Outcomes: Promoting healthy diets through sustainable food systems.

  • Access to Healthy and Sustainable Food: Food security, food sovereignty, and equitable access.

  • Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Agriculture: Reducing antibiotic use in livestock and its public health implications.

  • Environmental Exposure and Health: Air and water quality impacts from agricultural practices.

  • Community Health and Well-being: The broader social and economic benefits of ecological agriculture.



V. Policy, Economics, and Social Aspects




  • Policy Frameworks and Governance: National and international policies supporting ecological agriculture, biodiversity, and public health (e.g., CAP, Farm to Fork, CBD).

  • Economic Viability of Ecological Agriculture: Market opportunities, supply chains, value addition, farmer livelihoods.

  • Consumer Awareness and Education: Promoting sustainable consumption and dietary choices.

  • Participatory Approaches and Stakeholder Engagement: Collaboration among farmers, scientists, policymakers, and consumers.

  • Social Equity and Justice in Food Systems: Addressing disparities and ensuring fair transitions.

  • Research, Innovation, and Knowledge Transfer: Bridging the gap between science and practice.

  • Investment and Funding for Sustainable Food Systems: Public and private funding mechanisms.
