Special Issue on Intensive Farming

Intensive Farming is an agricultural intensification and mechanization system that aims to maximize yields from available land through various means, such as heavy use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This intensification and mechanization has also been applied to the raising of livestock with billions of animals, such as cows, pigs and chickens, being held indoors in what have become known as factory farms.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring intensive farming. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Intensive animal farming
• Intensive crop farming
• Aquaculture
• Sustainable intensive farming
• Agricultural policy and agribusiness
• Environmental impact of agriculture

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Intensive Farming” should be selected during your submission.
