History
Agronomy for Sustainable Development was established in 1981 as Agronomie. At that time, less than 10% of articles were in English. The journal was greatly reformed from 2003 to 2006, including a new title, a new cover design, and a switch to English-only publishing.
Scope
Since 2003, the journal changed topics from classical, production-oriented agronomy to sustainable and ecological agriculture. Major journal topics currently include:
- Agriculture and global changes
- Agricultural production of renewable energies
- Agroecology
- Ecological pest control and biopesticides
- Organic farming
- Genetically modified organisms in cropping systems
- Environmental impact on soil, water, air and biodiversity
- Risk assessment for food, ecotoxicology
- Decision support systems and companion modelling
- Social and economic issues of agricultural changes
- Innovation in farming systems
- Pollutants in agrosystems
