Aims & Scope

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Allied Sciences (JSAS) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and promoting innovation across sustainable agriculture and allied disciplines. The journal provides a platform for researchers, educators, extension professionals, policymakers, and practitioners to share findings that contribute to resilient agri-food systems, sustainable development, and food security.

Aims

  • Publish original research articles, review papers, research notes, and short communications that address current challenges and opportunities in sustainable agriculture.

  • Facilitate knowledge exchange among academia, industry, extension systems, and farming communities.

  • Promote climate-resilient, resource-efficient, and equitable agricultural practices.

  • Encourage interdisciplinary research integrating environmental, economic, social, and policy perspectives.

  • Support open science by ensuring free and permanent access to scholarly work.
