About ADES

Agriculture Development and Environmental Sustainability (ADES) is a fully open-access, internationally peer-reviewed scientific journal established to advance rigorous, impactful, and globally relevant research at the intersection of agricultural development and environmental sustainability. ADES provides an authoritative and inclusive publishing platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working to understand and address the complex challenges facing agricultural systems in the context of environmental change, resource scarcity, and sustainable development.

The journal publishes original research articles, systematic and narrative reviews, short communications, commentaries, and letters across the full breadth of agricultural and environmental sciences. ADES is committed to methodological pluralism: both quantitative and qualitative approaches are welcomed, and multi- and transdisciplinary work is especially encouraged.
