About the Journal

Research Horizons: Trends in Agriculture and Food Research is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality original research, critical reviews, and selected high-impact reprints in the fields of agricultural and food sciences. The journal emphasizes studies that integrate agricultural production systems with food science, prioritizing interdisciplinary research at the interface of crop and livestock production, food processing, and human nutrition. It provides a platform for research that advances scientific understanding, technological innovation, and practical applications in agri-food systems.

Published half-yearly, the journal is available in both print and electronic formats, ensuring wide accessibility to the research community.​

Scope:

The journal welcomes high-quality submissions in all aspects of agriculture and food science. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Agricultural production systems: crop, livestock, and integrated agroecosystems; sustainable intensification; yield maximization; and efficient resource utilization.
  • Agricultural technologies: precision and digital agriculture, sensor-based monitoring, robotics, automation, and decision-support frameworks.
  • Farm management and operations: strategic planning, risk evaluation, supply chain optimization, and operational efficiency.
  • Agro-environmental interactions: soil health, nutrient cycling, water and salinity management, climate adaptation, and ecosystem services.
  • Agri-food economics and policy: market dynamics, policy development, sustainability assessment, and socio-economic impact analysis.
  • Food composition and functionality: physicochemical, molecular, and bioactive characterization of food constituents.
  • Nutritional science and health outcomes: nutrient bioavailability, functional foods, gut microbiota interactions, and personalized nutrition interventions.
  • Food quality, safety, and regulatory science: risk assessment, hazard management, compliance, and quality assurance frameworks.
  • Food processing and engineering: innovative processing technologies, process modelling, optimization, automation, and industrial scale-up strategies.
  • Food technology innovations: novel packaging, preservation methods, functional ingredient development, and technology-driven solutions for sustainable food systems.
