Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is considerable interest and investment in information that can transform our food production systems towards a more sustainable future. The diverse nature of the farming landscape, with animals, plants, soil, and water in the farm environment, provides a wide range of opportunities for solutions that can bring about financial, environmental, and social change. Innovative technologies and advanced methods can help manage valuable soil, plant, and animal stocks, as well as providing early warnings for poor performance. This advanced support helps farmers to make timely and informed decisions, as well as changes in practice, in order to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of production.
Original research or review articles should cover recent or future farm-level developments.
Prof. Dr. Matt J. Bell
