Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At the forefront of international modern macroeconomic objectives is the achievement of sustainable growth, characterized by factors such as clean energy, food security, the mitigation of climate change, and the elimination of poverty. There is abundant evidence of climate change, which is fuelled by the consumption of fossil fuels as a source of energy. To mitigate climate change, experts have advocated for clean energy derived from the sun, heat, wind, tides, waves, biomass, and bioresources, as well as the use alternative energy sources such as agricultural produce.
Policymakers are concerned about the effects of deriving energy from agriculture and bioresources on food security and, to some extent, job losses. Recent research and innovation (R&I) efforts into alternative green energy sources have led to improvements in the approach to achieving energy security without compromising on cost or food security.
Authors are invited to submit empirical, methodological, and theoretical research on links between the economy, energy, and agriculture. Perspectives from multiple disciplines are welcomed, including science and technology, the humanities, management, and the social sciences, as well as public and scientific studies. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Economic growth and energy consumption.
- Sustainable agriculture and energy consumption.
- Energy generation and best agricultural practices.
- Food security and energy generation.
- Sustainable energy financing.
- Sustainable agricultural financing.
- Ecological issues in energy generation.
- Climate change and energy.
- Sustainable agriculture and climate change.
- Energy poverty, and the health and welfare benefits of sustainable agricultural efficiency.
- Politics of food security amidst energy consideration.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
