Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will include papers covering a wide range of aspects related to strategies for sustainable rural development and agri-food systems. There are reported diverse scientific gaps in this field that can be approached in these Special Issues both by scientists and practitioners.
Nevertheless, in this Special Issue we are looking for valuable innovative and original contributions to fill up the aforementioned scientific gaps, especially the ones that link sustainable and resilient rural development to the improvement of agri-food systems. In this particular context, the complexity of the subjects covered is obvious.
We intend to select manuscripts that deal with inventive views of the economic, social or environmental pillars of sustainability for the perspective of the agrifood value chains, agrifood systems resilience, agritourism, localized food, agri-food supply chains, and agribusiness, but the list is not limited only to these.
