About Journal

Sustainable Agriculture Research is an international, double-anonymized peer-reviewed, open-access journal. SAR is published quarterly in both print and online versions. It publishes original research, applied, and educational articles monthly in all areas of agricultural science.

Sustainable Agriculture Research is striving to provide the best platform for researchers and scholars worldwide to exchange their latest findings. Authors are encouraged to submit complete, unpublished, original works that are not under review in any other journals.

Focus and Scope

Sustainable Agriculture Research organizes scholarship around three connected domains. Production, Resources, and Agroecosystems covers crop and livestock systems, soil, water, nutrients, biodiversity, energy, integrated pest management, organic farming, and alternative production. Climate, Innovation, and Futures covers mitigation, adaptation, resilience, new technology, long‑term projections, scenarios, options, and sustainability indicators. Economy, Society, and Governance covers rural economies, livelihoods, equity, adoption, policy, institutions, ethical questions, and the social or philosophical foundations of sustainable agriculture.

Every empirical study must define its agricultural object, system boundary, time horizon, and sustainability outcomes. It should evaluate at least one environmental, economic, or social dimension and identify material trade‑offs or synergies among relevant agricultural sustainability objectives, including productivity and long‑term resilience where applicable.

Technology trials require a relevant comparator and sustainability evidence beyond yield. Modeling and foresight papers must disclose assumptions, uncertainty, and validation or scenario logic. Reviews must state their evidence‑selection method and critically integrate a defined sustainable‑agriculture question; methodological papers must demonstrate validity and decision value for agricultural sustainability assessment.

Climate, ecology, economics, engineering, sociology, and policy studies are eligible only when their principal contribution concerns sustainable agricultural systems. Generic environmental monitoring, routine input trials, rural surveys, and unsupported sustainability claims are excluded.
