About this Research Topic
Building on the Millennium Development Goals, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, billed by the UN as “an agenda of unprecedented scope and significance” These seventeen goals are conceived as integrated, indivisible, and as balancing the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. To be achieved by 2030, the goals are organized around five core pillars: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership. As a member of the SDGs Publishers Compact, Frontiers is committed to advocating the themes represented by the SDGs and accelerating progress to achieve them.
More than any other sector, agronomy is the common thread which holds the 17 SDGs together.
This Research Topic aims to explore and elucidate the intersection of agronomy and climate action, specifically within the framework of SDG 13. The primary objective is to investigate how various agronomic practices can contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation. Key questions include: How can soil carbon sequestration be maximized? What are the most effective applications of biochar? How can nutrient management be optimized to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? By addressing these questions, the research aims to provide actionable insights and evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers.
To gather further insights in the intersection of agronomy and climate action, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Soil Carbon Sequestration
- Applications of Biochar
- Soil Organic Matter Management
- Nutrient Management that Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Cover Crop Management
- Conservation Tillage
- Crop Rotations
- Site-Specific Management
This collection seeks to advance our understanding of sustainable agronomic practices and their role in achieving SDG 13, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and sustainable global food system.
