About the journal “Sustainable Agriculture”

The journal “Sustainable Agriculture” is registered in the Press Agency of Uzbekistan on the 12th of February in 2018 (license № 0957).

The founder of the journal is the Ministry of Water Resources of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers.

International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is 2181-9408.

The Scientific and Technical Journal “Sustainable Agriculture” is published electronically, in English, every quarter and distributed among subscribers four times a year.

Goals and objectives of the journal

The journal covers and publishes scientific articles of applied and fundamental nature. These articles are about sustainable agriculture development during a period of significant decline in water situation and increase of water sources pollution in anthropogenic climate change in the short and long term.

The journal publishes the results of innovative research on scientific and technical problems of rational management and efficient use of water resources, reliability and safety of hydraulic structures, exploitation of pumps and pumping station, improvement of reclamation state of irrigated lands, increase in productivity of irrigated hectare and cubic meter of irrigation water, preservation and improvement of soil fertility, effective use of collector and drainage waters, etc.

Taking into consideration the conditions of a particular region (the countries of Asia, Europe, America, and Africa), the journal illustrates foremost and innovative developments of the scientific and practical direction on the listed below topics of a scientific and technical journal “Sustainable Agriculture”, including the following:

• Achievement of a high agricultural products’ crop yield in anthropogenic climate change;
• Creation of innovative energy- and resource-saving equipment and technologies for growing, picking and selling of agricultural products;
• Production of non-traditional energy sources;
• The use of modern information technologies and achievements in the area of renewable energy sources;
• Sustainable agricultural land use based on the landscape approach. The aim of that is restoration and preservation of landscape systems, restoration of the areas balance between natural landscapes and cultivated lands.

In the journal “Sustainable Agriculture” there are not published articles that expound individual stages of research, which do not allow us to draw certain conclusions.

Payments are not collected from authors who publish articles.
