Call for papers/Topics All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields: 1. Organic Agriculture Organic agriculture focuses on farming practices that rely on ecological processes, biodiversity, and natural cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than synthetic inputs. Soil Health and Management Organic matter retention, composting, and vermicomposting Cover cropping, green manures, and crop rotations Soil microbiome dynamics and biological nitrogen fixation Reduced tillage and soil erosion prevention Pest, Weed, and Disease Management Integrated Pest Management (IPM) using biological controls Botanical pesticides and physical/mechanical weed control Habitat management for natural predators and beneficial insects Crop and Animal Biodiversity Heirloom, indigenous, and climate-resilient crop varieties Polyculture, intercropping, and agroforestry systems Organic livestock management, rotational grazing, and animal welfare Standards, Certification, and Economics Third-party certification systems vs. Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) Transition costs, yield gaps, and farm profitability Supply chain traceability and market access 2. Food Security Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. Food Availability (Production Side) Total yield potential, harvest stability, and post-harvest storage Resource availability: land, water, seeds, and energy Impact of climate change on crop yield volatility Food Access (Socioeconomic Side) Purchasing power, food affordability, and income equity Transportation infrastructure, trade, and market distribution Urban vs. rural food access and "food deserts" Food Utilization (Nutritional Side) Dietary diversity and macronutrient/micronutrient adequacy Food safety, hygienic preparation, and clean drinking water access Biological absorption of nutrients (gut health and disease burden) Stability and Resilience (Temporal Side) Climate resilience and buffer capacity against extreme weather Geopolitical, economic, and trade disruption vulnerability Long-term resource conservation vs. short-term yield maximization 3. Public Health Public health examines how agricultural methods, environmental exposures, and nutrition impact population health, disease prevalence, and longevity. Environmental and Occupational Toxicology Occupational pesticide exposure among agricultural workers Groundwater contamination from synthetic fertilizers (e.g., nitrates) Airborne drift of agrochemicals and respiratory health Nutrition and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Micronutrient density in foods (antioxidants, vitamins, minerals) Health impacts of ultra-processed food consumption versus whole foods Diet-related chronic diseases: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity Infectious Diseases and One Health Antibiotic resistance driven by prophylactic use in industrial livestock Zoonotic disease emergence at the human-livestock-wildlife interface Pathogen contamination in food chains (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli) Environmental Health and Ecosystem Services Air and water quality degradation from agricultural runoff Biodiversity loss impact on ecosystem resilience and disease vectors 4. Interrelated Cross-Cutting Topics (The Nexus) Where these three domains intersect, trade-offs and synergies emerge that shape global policy and sustainable development. The Yield Gap vs. Land Sharing Trade-off Interrelation: Organic systems often yield less per hectare than intensive industrial systems, requiring more land to produce the same volume. This creates a tension between local environmental protection (organic practices) and global food availability. Subtopics: Ecological intensification, land sparing vs. land sharing debate, sustainable yield optimization. The Soil-Nutrient-Human Health Axis Interrelation: Soil biological activity directly influences plant secondary metabolites and mineral uptake, which in turn affects human nutrition and gut microbiome diversity. Subtopics: Phytonutrient accumulation in organic systems, soil microbiome exchange with human gut microbiota, biofortification. Agroecology as a Driver of Climate Resilience and Food Stability Interrelation: Organic practices increase soil organic matter, boosting drought and flood tolerance. This stabilizes food production under volatile climate conditions, supporting long-term food security. Subtopics: Carbon sequestration in agricultural soils, farm-level adaptive capacity, microclimate buffering. Socioeconomic Equity in Food Quality Interrelation: Organic food often carries price premiums. Higher costs make organic options accessible primarily to higher-income populations, raising public health questions about equal access to pesticide-free, nutrient-dense food. Subtopics: True Cost Accounting (TCA) in agriculture, food sovereignty, targeted food subsidy policies. Chemical Risk Reduction vs. Mass Food Supply Interrelation: Reducing synthetic chemical inputs lowers toxicological risks for farm workers and consumers, but shifting to organic requires labor-intensive weed and pest management that affects price and scale. Subtopics: Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), occupational safety policies in agriculture. Livestock, Antibiotics, and Global Pandemic Preparedness Interrelation: Restricting synthetic antibiotics in organic livestock reduces selection pressure for multi-drug resistant superbugs, addressing a major global public health risk while influencing livestock productivity and meat supply. Subtopics: Antimicrobial stewardship, alternative veterinary therapies, rotational grazing sanitation
