Aims and Scope

Aim

Raya Journal of Agroecosystem and Food Technology is a scientific journal that reviews and publishes research, reviews, and applied studies in the fields of agroecosystem and food technology. The journal is an academic platform for the dissemination of ideas, scientific findings, and innovations in forestry, agriculture, land and soil, plantation and estate crops, animal science and livestock, agricultural products, and food technology.

Scope

The journal welcomes manuscripts that present conceptual, empirical, experimental, and applied approaches relevant to current challenges, including sustainability of production systems, natural resource management, food security, climate change, land quality, postharvest handling, food safety, and innovative food product development, agroecosystem sustainability, land management, biodiversity conservation, postharvest technology, and downstream development of agriculture and food-based products. The journal brings together basic, applied, and technological sciences to support adaptive, productive, and sustainable agricultural and food development. The scope of Raya Journal of Agroecosystem and Food Technology includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
