History

Agronomy for Sustainable Development was established in 1981 as Agronomie. At that time, less than 10% of articles were in English. The journal was greatly reformed from 2003 to 2006, including a new title, a new cover design, and a switch to English-only publishing.

Scope

Since 2003, the journal changed topics from classical, production-oriented agronomy to sustainable and ecological agriculture. Major journal topics currently include:

Agriculture and global changes
Agricultural production of renewable energies
Agroecology
Ecological pest control and biopesticides
Organic farming
Genetically modified organisms in cropping systems
Environmental impact on soil, water, air and biodiversity
Risk assessment for food, ecotoxicology
Decision support systems and companion modelling
Social and economic issues of agricultural changes
Innovation in farming systems
Pollutants in agrosystems

Agronomy for Sustainable Development is present on Mendeley, Twitter and Google+. Since 2013, a blog allows readers to leave comments on the articles.
