The Journal of Agrocomplex and Engineering serves as a comprehensive platform for the publication of high-quality research and practical insights in the fields of agriculture, agrocomplex systems, and engineering. Our mission is to advance knowledge and understanding of sustainable agricultural practices, innovative technologies, and engineering solutions that contribute to the development of agrocomplex systems. We welcome manuscripts that provide evidence-based contributions and interdisciplinary approaches to address challenges and opportunities in these domains. The focus and scope of the journal include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
Agrocomplex Systems
We invite studies that explore integrated agricultural systems and their interactions with socio-economic, environmental, and technological factors. Topics include sustainable farming practices, agroecology, precision agriculture, food security, and the optimization of resource use in agricultural production systems. Research on policy implications, community engagement, and the adoption of innovative agrocomplex strategies is highly encouraged.
Agricultural Engineering
The journal welcomes research that highlights the application of engineering principles in agriculture. This includes the development and improvement of agricultural machinery, irrigation systems, post-harvest technologies, and renewable energy systems for farming. Studies on automation, robotics, and digital technologies such as IoT, AI, and machine learning in agriculture are particularly valued.
Food Processing and Technology
We are interested in manuscripts that address innovations in food processing, preservation, and packaging technologies. Topics include food safety, quality assurance, biotechnology applications in food production, and sustainable methods for reducing food waste throughout the supply chain.
Environmental Engineering and Sustainability
The journal seeks research that explores the intersection of agricultural practices and environmental engineering. This includes topics such as soil and water conservation, climate-smart agriculture, pollution control, and sustainable waste management systems in agro-industrial activities. Studies addressing the mitigation of environmental impacts through engineering solutions are particularly welcome.
Energy and Resource Efficiency
Manuscripts that investigate energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy integration, and resource optimization in agricultural operations are encouraged. Topics may include bioenergy production, sustainable resource management, and innovations aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of agricultural activities.
Biotechnology and Bioengineering
We seek research that examines the role of biotechnology and bioengineering in improving agricultural productivity and sustainability. Topics include genetic engineering, plant and animal breeding, biocontrol methods, and the development of bio-based products for agricultural applications.
Agri-Business and Socio-Economic Aspects
The journal welcomes research that addresses the economic and social dimensions of agricultural engineering and agrocomplex systems. Topics include market analysis, agribusiness management, value chain optimization, rural development, and the socio-economic impacts of technological adoption in agriculture.
Post-Harvest and Logistics
Research on post-harvest handling, storage, transportation, and logistics in agricultural supply chains is highly valued. Topics include reducing post-harvest losses, improving cold chain systems, and enhancing the efficiency of agricultural product distribution.
Interdisciplinary Approaches
The Journal of Agrocomplex and Engineering encourages submissions that bridge multiple disciplines to address complex challenges in agriculture and engineering. This includes research that integrates perspectives from biology, environmental science, engineering, economics, and social sciences.
We accept original research articles, systematic reviews, case studies, and theoretical papers that offer practical implications for academics, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders in the agrocomplex and engineering fields. Our aim is to promote innovation, sustainability, and resilience in agricultural systems worldwide.
