DESCRIPTION
Call for papers/Topics Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields: 1. Organic Agriculture Systems This theme focuses on the production methods and the ecological philosophy of farming without synthetic inputs. Principles of Organic Production Soil health and "Living Soil" (mycorrhizal fungi and microbial activity) Biodiversity and polyculture vs. monoculture Closed-loop nutrient cycling and composting Pest and Disease Management Biological control agents (beneficial insects) Crop rotation and companion planting Mechanical and physical weed control Standards and Certification The IFOAM international framework The transition period (the economic gap between conventional and organic status) Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) for smallholders 2. Food Security and Sovereignty This theme addresses the availability, access, and stability of food supplies at local and global scales. The Four Pillars of Food Security Availability (physical supply) Access (economic and physical) Utilization (nutritional quality and safety) Stability (resilience to shocks) Economic Accessibility The "Organic Premium" and the price gap for low-income consumers Local food hubs and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) The impact of global commodity prices on local food security Food Sovereignty Right to seeds and the prevention of seed monopolies Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in indigenous farming Small-scale farmer empowerment vs. industrial agribusiness 3. Public Health and Nutrition This theme covers the direct impact of food systems on the human body and the broader environment. Nutritional Quality Phytonutrient density (antioxidants, polyphenols) Omega-3 fatty acid profiles in organic meat and dairy Micronutrient bioavailability in mineral-rich soils Toxicology and Exposure Pesticide residue levels and endocrine disruption Antibiotic resistance (AMR) in livestock management Heavy metal accumulation (e.g., Cadmium levels in synthetic vs. organic soils) Epidemiology of Diet The link between ultra-processed foods and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) Impact of organic diets on pregnancy and early childhood development Occupational health for farmworkers (exposure reduction) 4. Interrelated and Cross-Cutting Themes These subtopics represent the "glue" where all three primary fields overlap. Environmental Health (One Health Approach) Water quality: Preventing nitrogen runoff and "dead zones" in oceans Carbon sequestration: The role of organic soils in climate change mitigation Pollinator health and its direct link to the survival of nutrient-dense crops Climate Resilience Drought resistance of organic soils (increased water-holding capacity) Adaptation strategies for smallholder farmers under extreme weather Policy and Governance Subsidies: Shifting from yield-based incentives to ecosystem-service incentives Urban agriculture: Integrating food production into city public health planning The "True Cost of Food": Accounting for environmental and health externalities in food pricing
