New Frontiers and Challenges for the Sustainability of Agro-forestry-pastoral Systems and Food Safety

Geopolitical crises, climate change, and financial speculation have caused a rise in energy costs, fertilizers, and raw materials. These have had a negative impact on agricultural supply chains. In this challenging scenario, a Research Topic on agriculture chains can clarify causes and effects and contribute to innovative solutions via technological and other forms of progress.

Since the EU Agricultural Policy is aimed at developing and implementing novel strategies for global food safety through international cooperation, we are hosting a conference on the topic New Frontiers and Challenges for the Sustainability of Agro-forestry-pastoral Systems, their Food Safety and Food Security.

Our Frontiers in Agronomy Research Topic is an initiative linked to the AISSA conference, and we welcome submissions from conference participants and the wider community, and especially from young researchers. These contributions should present new, promising and interesting perspectives that aim to promote the sustainability of agro-forestry-pastoral systems and their important role in food security and its safety.

Keywords: biodiversity, climate change, sustainability, circular bio-economy, agro-pastoral systems, food security

Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
