Aim and Scope
The Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development (AJARD) provides a forum for innovative and scholarly research on agricultural geography, planning and development, agronomy and crop science, and soil and plant sciences.
Primarily, the journal aims to disseminate the research of agronomists and agricultural scientists engaged in the implementation of science and technology in such areas as agribusiness, crop science, plant genetics, and soil science. This research corpus comprises biology, chemistry, economics, ecology, agricultural genetics in the production of healthier food, and environmental monitoring. Consequently, it will contribute to the debate on the sustainable achievement of global economic and social development goals.
Articles are invited in the following four subject areas:
