Aims and Scope

Biosystems Engineering & Sustainable Technologies (BEST) is dedicated to providing a multidisciplinary, unique platform for researchers, scientists, engineers, technology developers, planners, and policy makers to present their research results and findings in a compelling manner on novel biosystems, sustainable Technologies and applications. BEST is a journal of technical, environmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability of human beings, which provides an advanced forum for studies related to sustainability and sustainable development. BEST covers the entire spectrum of energy from production to conversion, conservation, management, systems, technologies, etc. We encourage paper submissions aiming at better efficiency, cost improvements, more effective resource use, improved design and analysis, and reduced environmental impact.

BEST is concerned with the development and exploitation of both advanced traditional and new energy sources, systems, technologies and applications. High-quality research and review papers are solicited in, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  1. Automation and Robotics in Agriculture
  2. Precision Agriculture
  3. Greenhouse Engineering
  4. Pre- and Post-Harvest Processing
  5. New and Renewable Sources of Energy
  6. Sustainable Energy Preservation and Regeneration Methods
  7. Environmental Sustainability
  8. Effects of Global Climate Change on Development and Sustainability
  9. Sustainability Tools
  10. Applications of Sustainability
  11. System Analysis Methods, Including Life Cycle Assessment and Management
  12. Waste Management and Recycling
