One of the goals of higher education is to produce graduates who can carry out development in accordance with national development needs. Because national development needs are not something static, meaning they will always change according to changes in regional and global situations, universities are also required to constantly change and adapt to changes in needs and development, in addition to adapting to developments in science, technology, art and world information. This is the main challenge faced by Indonesian higher education entering the 21st century, which will begin with the era of free competition and openness of regional markets (ASEAN Free Trade Area: AFTA) and then free competition and openness of the Asia Pacific market (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation: APEC) in 2020.

Published three times a year, in April, August, and December, JOSAET maintains rigorous standards through a high-quality peer-review process. We welcome manuscripts showcasing interdisciplinary expertise in areas such as:

Enhancing crop production efficiency with new technologies to support agricultural sustainability, covering topics like crop management, pest control, environmental impact, input efficiency, new variety development, and socio-economic assessment.
Fostering soil and water management strategies, such as the use of organic inputs, anticipation of soil pollution, soil health, and soil fertility inputs for sustainability.
Exploring technology applications in various fields including soil science, agronomy, horticulture, plantation, forestry, aquaculture, husbandry farming, bioremediation, and application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in soil science, agriculture, and environment. We also welcome contributions discussing other environmental technologies aimed at improving our environment.

JOSAET publishes original papers, short communications, and reviews concerning smart agriculture and environmental technology. We are particularly interested in research that promotes agricultural practices preserving the environment, enhancing crop production and income, mitigating global warming effects, and building food security in the face of climate change.

Our vision is to be a leading voice in the discourse on sustainable agriculture and environmental management, facilitating innovation and knowledge exchange for a sustainable and resilient future.
