Conference Sub-themes for manuscript alignment

Sub-themes for the AASAES-UMU conference aim to capture emerging findings that potentially address the unknowns in methodological, practical, and knowledge creation avenues for agroecology, as detailed in items 1-9 presented earlier in this section. Authors are called on to submit full manuscripts in areas of their interest, considering knowledge gaps reviewed in items 1-9 above, and considering any of these thematic areas.

01 Agroecology, Agriculture, Water, Land, Climate, Biodiversity, Environmental Sustainability
02 Ecosystems, Populations, Species, Genetic resources, and Sustainability
03 Governance, Security, Peace, Sovereignty, Sustainability in Environment and Natural Resources Management
04 Contemporary Environment Management Systems: The niche for agroecology
05 Agroecological Innovations for Resilient Food Systems and Sustainable Landscapes
06 From Farms to Ecosystem: Agroecological solutions for Uganda’s sustainability
07 Sustainable Farming Systems and Climate Resilience
08 Policy, Governance, and Agroecology
09 Inclusive and equitable agroecological transition (woman-led agroecology and youth engagement)
10 Social movements in agroecology
11 Markets, Economics, Poverty, Culture, and Sustainability (Organic value chains, agroecology financing, urban-rural linkages)
12 Spirituality and natural resource conservation
13 Energy sources, technologies, regulatory and financing frameworks
14 Knowledge, Knowledge Systems, Agroecology and Environment
15 Methodologies, Methods and Tackling Sustainability Concerns in Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Management
16 Agrochemical pollution includes herbicides, fertilizers, pesticides, and veterinary drugs.
17 Modelling Approaches in Agroecology and Environmental Sustainability (e.g., Mathematical modelling, Predictive models, systems dynamics, spatial modelling, optimization in resource use, risk and resilience analysis, data-driven decision support)
18 Software Engineering, information systems, and artificial intelligence in Agroecology.

Authors could also focus their papers on particular areas of interest related to elements and principles of agroecology, among the 13 agroecological principles, and this may include any of the following;
