‌‌‌‌The IECE Council has approved a proposal from the IECE Publications Commission to establish a new journal focused on agricultural science and food processing. The journal is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of emerging technologies and research on agriculture and food, serving as a vital platform for both theoretical exploration and practical application. The new journal will begin accepting submissions for peer review starting in September 2024.

Agricultural Science and Food Processing is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, cutting-edge original research, representing complete research and research progress, peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, viewpoints, communications, comments and short notes, reflecting the breadth and interdisciplinary nature of agriculture and food. There is no limit on the maximum length of the paper. "Agricultural Science and Food Processing" mainly publishes papers in the field of agricultural natural sciences in the directions of agricultural science, agricultural engineering, forestry science, planting science, resource environment, animal husbandry science, soil science, agricultural ecology, agricultural meteorology, aquatic science, agricultural economy, agricultural products and food processing, agricultural microorganisms, fermentation engineering, and the development and application of Chinese herbal medicine resources. The journal also encourages submissions of research results with the main content of bioengineering technology, synthetic biology technology, multi-omics technology, artificial intelligence technology, and the application of big data technology in the agricultural field. In addition, papers with chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and animal experiments as the main content, combined with food-related biological/sensory/nutrition/toxicological evaluation, are welcome to submit to our journal. The scope of content published by Agricultural Science and Food Processing includes, but is not limited to:

• Crop physiology, molecular breeding and genetics

• Crop chemistry, biology and genetic applications

• Biotechnology for crop improvement and crop protection

• Agriculture and cropping systems
