Abstract

Food security debates have increasingly shifted from the question of how much food is produced to the question of what nutritional value that food delivers to populations. This study aimed to examine how the nutritional quality of agricultural products, particularly functional foods and nutrient-rich crops, contributes to stronger household food security. A convergent mixed-methods design was employed, combining laboratory analysis of 30 agricultural product samples, household survey data from 150 respondents, and in-depth interviews with 15 key informants drawn from farming, market, and nutrition sectors. The findings showed that nutrient-rich crops and functional food products contained substantially higher levels of protein, iron, zinc, dietary fiber, beta-carotene, and phenolic compounds than conventional staples. Households with greater access to these products reported higher dietary diversity, lower food insecurity scores, and better perceived dietary adequacy. Qualitative evidence further revealed that local processing, market accessibility, nutrition awareness, and community acceptance strengthened the food security effects of nutritionally superior products. Nutritional quality in agricultural products can therefore be understood as a strategic pillar of food security, supporting a shift from quantity-oriented agriculture toward nutrition-sensitive, health-promoting, and more resilient food systems. These findings highlight the need for integrated agricultural, nutritional, and policy interventions across food systems.

Abstract

This research was conducted in the year 1400 (2021) in Maymana city, the center of Faryab province in northern Afghanistan. The sampling area was located within the geographic coordinates of 35° 53' 25.8? to 35° 54' 46.3? N latitude and 64° 44' 11.6? to 64° 49' 15.7? E longitude. Lady beetles (Col.: Coccinellidae), with more than six thousand described species worldwide, are considered important natural enemies of agricultural pests and play a significant role in the biological control of pests such as aphids, whiteflies, scale insects, and plant mites. Despite the considerable climatic and botanical diversity in Afghanistan, available information about the lady beetle fauna of the country is limited. Faryab province, with Maymana as its center, is one of Afghanistan’s important agricultural regions. Considering the ecological importance of lady beetles in biological pest control, this study aimed to investigate the polymorphism of the species Adalia bipunctata in this area. The study was carried out during spring and summer of 1400 (2021), with sampling conducted on cultivated hosts such as peach, pear, and rose, as well as on non-cultivated plants and weeds. Three collection methods were used: insect netting, manual collection, and shaking the host plant onto a white plastic tray. Collected adult insects were preserved either in 70% ethanol or by killing and drying. Identification of specimens was performed using morphological features and examination of the male external genitalia. Different morphs of Adalia bipunctata were distinguished based on morphological traits such as the number, size, and pattern of elytral spots, as well as the color of the elytra and pronotum. Overall, two major morphs and several minor morphs of this species were identified and classified into seven categories.

Abstract

Global trade and agricultural economics play a pivotal role in shaping food security worldwide. Price policies and international trade agreements significantly impact food availability, affordability, and access. This research examines how trade liberalization and protectionist policies affect food security outcomes in various countries, with a focus on the interplay between agricultural price policies and trade agreements. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of liberalized trade policies and price controls on food security across different regions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data analysis from global economic databases and qualitative insights from expert interviews. The results indicate that countries with liberalized trade policies and positive trade balances experienced reductions in food insecurity, while protectionist policies did not significantly improve food security, despite price control measures. The study highlights that trade liberalization, when paired with effective price stabilization, leads to improved food security. Conversely, protectionism tends to exacerbate food insecurity by limiting access to affordable food and increasing market volatility. This research emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to trade and price policies in fostering global food security.

Abstract

Soil degradation and declining agricultural productivity pose critical challenges for sustainable food systems globally. Maintaining soil health while achieving high crop yields requires innovative approaches that integrate ecological conservation with modern agronomic techniques. The need to reconcile productivity with long-term soil functionality underpins this study. The research aims to evaluate the effects of combining conservation practices, including cover cropping, reduced tillage, and organic amendments, with modern crop production technologies such as precision fertilization and optimized irrigation, on soil health and crop performance. Emphasis is placed on identifying synergistic effects that enhance both ecological and agronomic outcomes. A quasi-experimental design was implemented across replicated plots representing diverse soil types. Soil chemical, physical, and biological indicators were monitored alongside crop yield, biomass accumulation, and tissue nutrient content. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and multivariate regression, were conducted to quantify differences among management approaches. Results indicate that integrated management significantly improves soil organic matter, microbial biomass, and nutrient availability, while increasing crop yield and biomass relative to conventional or conservation-only systems. Synergistic interactions between ecological and technological interventions promote soil resilience and resource-use efficiency. The study concludes that integrating conservation practices with modern crop production offers a viable pathway toward sustainable intensification. Evidence-based recommendations support both productivity enhancement and long-term soil stewardship, providing guidance for researchers, farmers, and policymakers.

Abstract

Agricultural systems operate within complex economic environments shaped by government interventions, market forces, global trade dynamics, and food security concerns. Increasing market volatility, climate-related disruptions, resource constraints, and evolving consumer demands have intensified the need for effective agricultural policies capable of balancing economic efficiency, social welfare, and sustainable development objectives. Agricultural economics has emerged as a critical discipline that provides analytical tools for understanding market behavior and supporting evidence-based policymaking. This study aims to examine the role of agricultural economics in policy formation and to investigate the interactions between government decisions and agricultural market dynamics. A qualitative research design based on a systematic literature review and comparative policy analysis was employed. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, policy reports, governmental publications, and institutional documents published between 2010 and 2025. Findings indicate that agricultural economics significantly contributes to policy effectiveness by improving resource allocation, evaluating policy alternatives, anticipating market responses, and reducing unintended economic distortions. Policy consistency, institutional capacity, market responsiveness, and information availability emerged as key factors influencing the relationship between government interventions and market outcomes. Evidence further demonstrates that agricultural markets actively adapt to policy changes through adjustments in production decisions, investment behavior, and resource utilization. The study concludes that agricultural economics functions as a strategic bridge between public policy objectives and market realities, enabling governments to formulate more adaptive, efficient, and evidence-based policies capable of promoting agricultural competitiveness, food security, and sustainable rural development.

Abstract

Global food systems are facing increasing challenges arising from climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, resource depletion, and growing food demand. Conventional agricultural models have succeeded in enhancing productivity but have often generated environmental consequences that threaten long-term food security and ecological sustainability. Agroecology has emerged as a promising framework that applies ecological principles to agricultural production systems while promoting resilience, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable resource management. This study aims to examine the role of agroecology in strengthening food security and to identify strategies for integrating ecological principles into global agricultural systems. A qualitative research design based on a systematic literature review and thematic analysis was employed. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, international policy reports, institutional publications, and empirical studies published between 2010 and 2025. Findings indicate that agroecological practices contribute significantly to food security by improving soil fertility, enhancing biodiversity, increasing climate resilience, reducing dependence on external inputs, and strengthening local food systems. Community participation, knowledge integration, institutional support, and ecological diversification emerged as critical factors influencing successful implementation. Agroecological systems demonstrated greater adaptability to environmental and socio-economic disturbances compared with conventional agricultural approaches. The study concludes that integrating ecological principles into agricultural systems provides a viable pathway for achieving sustainable food security while simultaneously promoting environmental stewardship, agricultural resilience, and long-term sustainability within global food systems.

Abstract

Intensive agricultural expansion has contributed to biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and reduced ecosystem resilience, raising urgent concerns for sustainable farming systems. Agroecological strategies offer an alternative approach by emphasizing ecological interactions and biodiversity-based farming practices. This study aims to analyze the role of agroecological strategies in promoting biodiversity and enhancing sustainability in agricultural systems. A qualitative-dominant mixed-methods design is employed using comparative ecological analysis, secondary biodiversity datasets, and field-based qualitative observations. Data are analyzed through comparative indicators of species richness, soil organic matter, pollinator abundance, and ecosystem resilience across conventional and agroecological farming systems. Results indicate that agroecological systems significantly outperform conventional systems, with higher species richness (8.4 vs 4.1), improved soil organic matter (5.7% vs 2.3%), greater pollinator abundance (92 vs 35 units/ha), and enhanced ecosystem resilience (0.88 vs 0.54). Findings also demonstrate improved yield stability and stronger ecological interactions in diversified farming landscapes. The study concludes that agroecological strategies play a critical role in enhancing biodiversity and promoting sustainable farming systems by strengthening ecological interactions and reducing dependency on external inputs, thereby supporting long-term agricultural resilience and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Agricultural production increasingly faces climate variability, resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and rising demands for sustainable food systems, creating an urgent need for precise and adaptive crop management. This study examines how integrated drones, wireless field sensors, and artificial intelligence can enhance precision crop management by transforming heterogeneous agricultural data into actionable decision intelligence. A mixed-methods field-based design combined quasi-experimental comparisons, drone-based remote sensing, continuous sensor monitoring, multimodal data integration, artificial intelligence modeling, agronomic measurements, and stakeholder interviews to evaluate technological and operational performance. The findings indicate that integrated digital management improved crop-stress detection, accelerated management responses, increased productivity, and enhanced water, fertilizer, and pesticide-use efficiency compared with conventional practices. Multimodal integration generated stronger predictive performance than isolated technologies by combining spatial, temporal, and environmental information, while human validation remained essential for adapting algorithmic recommendations to field conditions. The study concludes that effective precision agriculture depends not on technology quantity but on integration quality and the capacity to translate data into timely, interpretable, and contextually relevant interventions. The proposed Integrated Agricultural Digital Intelligence Framework establishes a continuous Sense–Integrate–Analyze–Decide–Act–Learn cycle, providing a foundation for adaptive, resource-efficient, and sustainable crop management across diverse agricultural contexts worldwide.
