The Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment is a fully open access journal, publishing high-quality, original research, review and opinion papers in all areas of agriculture and environmental sciences and relevant policies.
We explicitly encourage submissions on mechanistic understanding, sustainable approaches, and emerging tools to fill current gaps in knowledge. We particularly welcome glasshouse and field experiments which have been set up to understand mechanisms of interactions between plant and soils that increase productivity and reduce environmental impacts.

A tribute to Professor Diana H. Wall
With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Professor Diana Wall on 25 March 2024, an irreplaceable loss for Science and Science‐policy‐society interface. Yet, her legacy will endure in the number of global policies, next‐generation science leaders and innovative research she has driven and inspired. It is the responsibility of all of us to build on and continue advocacy for importance, assessment, and conservation of soil biodiversity. That will be a true tribute we can pay for Diana's life.

Graphical Abstract
This study provides evidence that the use of SynCom can increase crop performance directly via the provision of nutrients and hormones, and indirectly via manipulating microbial community structure in the rhizosphere.
Sustainable agricultural practices contribute significantly to One Health
- 165-176
- 24 May 2022
Graphical Abstract
This article use the nexus of soil, plant, and human microbiomes to discuss sustainable agricultural production from the One Health perspective. Three interconnected challenges are highlighted- the transmissions of pathogens in soil–human microbial loops, the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in agroecosystems, and the impacts of chemical pesticides on humans and environmental health. Finally, we propose the potential of utilising microbiomes for better sustainable agronomic practices to contribute to key goals of the One Health concept.
