Aims & Scope

Tropical agriculture present ecological, cultural and political problems that demand analysis distinct from general ecological analysis. The tropical environment is special in many ways, from the lack of a biological down season (winter), to generally poor soil conditions, to a reliance on traditional methods of agriculture in an undeveloped society. At a time when the sustainability of natural resource use in the tropics has become a very big issue. Tropical Agroecosystems (TAEC) provides a critical scientific foundation for developing a sustainable agriculture within tropical environment; address the practical aspects of tropical agricultural production and improvement; to encourage application of modern scientific and technological advances to solving the problems facing agricultural production and remove constraints to production; and to encourage application of the results of original research which make a significant contribution to knowledge. The disciplines covered by the journal include: Soils; Environment and Agro-Ecology; Geography; Crops; Livestock; Post-Harvest Technology; Food Science; Food and Nutrition; Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Management; and Extension.
