Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites original research papers thematically related to agricultural engineering, precision agriculture and technology 4.0, production, utilization and circular production issues. The thematic scope fits into the broadly understood issue of sustainable development in food production, using modern food production and processing technologies that interfere as little as possible with the natural environment. The scope of this Special Issue also covers innovative devices and applications in the field of mechanical engineering, as well as bioengineering combined with environmental protection.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) improving technology and production processes in the agri-food industry; artificial intelligence and machine learning in industry and precision agriculture systems; the impact of technological progress on changes in production methods used in industry and agriculture; modern design solutions for machinery; technological lines used in industry; and integrated production methods used in sustainable, ecological, and precision agriculture. Review articles containing the latest scientific reports within the intended scope are also encouraged. This Special Issue will accept high-quality articles containing original research results and review papers pertaining to the field of agricultural engineering.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
