Research on food and agriculture is progressively moving towards an interdisciplinary study of sustainable food production to meet the demand of growing human populations. However, as more countries industrialize, there is an increase in air and water pollution, soil contamination, as well as elevated levels of global warming and depletion of the ozone layer. The unscientific use of land and over- exploitation of natural resources for enhancing food production and productivity have robbed us of our balanced environment and have also put a heavy toll on human and animal health. This complex scenario challenges researchers to develop and test more appropriate technologies for sustainable agriculture. Research, for example, is being carried out to overcome problems of environmental stress, minimize the use of pesticides, slow post-harvest storage losses, and explore nutrition, animal science and human nutrition, by using conventional and new technologies such as biotechnology, mutation-assisted breeding and molecular biology.

The Journal of Food, Agriculture, and Environment (JFAE) is dedicated to meet the need for a new journal that can encompass this wide range of topics and in a interdisciplinary approach. The journal publishes (in print and on-line versions) peer-reviewed original research, protocols, critical reviews or short communications on the three closely interdependent areas and is a unique attempt on interdisciplinary studies that explore the intersection of food, agriculture and environment.
