1. Food Systems Transformation
As a rapidly developing interdisciplinary subjects, food systems transformation demands holistic research from multiple disciplines. We invites submission of original and innovative papers as well as reviews and opinion pieces relevant to food systems transformation such as:
-Agricultural and food policies
-Nexus between nutrition, food and environment
-Food waste and loss
-Multi-win technology innovation, adoption and diffusion
-Food production and consumption
-Gender equity, youth incentive and smallholders and all other relevant topics

2. Comprehensive Valorization of Livestock Farming Waste, and Carbon Neutrality in Livestock Farms
Livestock farming is an important guarantee for the meat, eggs, milk, and ‘Vegetable Basket Project’ in modern society. And the integrated management of livestock and poultry waste, involving the entire industry chain of the upstream, midstream, and downstream treatment of livestock farming, is crucial to the green and sustainable development of the industry, and agricultural carbon neutrality. We invites the submission of original and innovative papers as well as reviews relevant to the following general scope:
-Carbon source reduction in livestock farming
-Intellectualization, energy conservation and emission reduction of livestock farms
-Biological treatment and valorization of livestock farming waste (Anaerobic digestion, compost)
-Thermal conversion and valorization of livestock farming waste (Hydrothermal carbonization, hydrothermal liquefaction, etc.)
-Circular agriculture models (combination of planting and breeding, biochar returning to fields, etc.)
-Multi-Energy complementation and improvement of quality and efficiency in livestock farms
-Methodology and GHG capture technology for emission reduction
-Standard, regulation, and policy

3. Non-point Source Pollution and Agricultural Green Development
Water quality issues pose increasing risks to human health, water security, and ecosystem functioning worldwide. Among all the sources of water quality degradation, one of the most important sources is the non-point source pollution. Non-point source pollution is closely related to agricultural production and development, such as crop production, livestock breeding, sewage, and so on. We invites the submission of original and innovative papers as well as reviews relevant to the following general scope:
-Analysis of agricultural non-point source pollution in watersheds
-Occurrence and pollution characteristics of non-point source pollution
-Non-point source pollution control technology, treatments, and effectiveness
-Policy-driven prevention and control of non-point source pollution
-Agricultural Green Development in watersheds

4. Other Topics:
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (FASE) collects innovative papers that advance the understanding of scientific, technological/engineering, socio-economic, institutional/policy, and management factors that drive current and future agricultural productivity and sustainability globally. It is an open-access journal published quarterly with no page charges. The Editor-in-Chief of FASE is Academician Prof. Fusuo Zhang, China Agricultural University. The associate Editors-in-Chief are Prof. Hans Lambers, University of Western Australia; Prof. Shenggen Fan and Prof. Yaofeng Zhao, China Agricultural University; Prof. Oene Oenema, Wageningen University; Prof. William J. Davies, Lancaster University; and Prof. Peter Vitousek, Stanford University. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by experts of international standing.
The regular topics of FASE are:
-Sustainability of agriculture and food systems towards SDGs
-Plant, animal, or food production: Advanced theories and technologies
-Genetic and molecular improvement of plants and animals
-Sustainable resource use and management (land, water, nutrient, waste)
-Globalization and regional agricultural sustainable development
-Soil health and production capacity
-Digital, intelligent and smart agriculture in the information age
-Forestry; Food safety; aquaculture; grassland science; horticulture; pest management, etc.
