Sustainable cropping systems for the future

As global food demand grows and environmental pressures on agriculture intensify, there is an increasingly urgent need for food systems that are sustainable and resilient.  PLOS ONE  publishes a range of scientific research touching on all aspects of food systems, from analyses of agronomic efficiency to participatory policy development.

How can we increase adoption of open research practices?

Researchers are satisfied with their ability to share their own research data but may struggle with accessing other researchers’ data. Therefore, to increase data sharing in a findable and accessible way, PLOS will focus on better integrating existing data repositories and promoting their benefits rather than creating new solutions.

International day of women and girls in science 2021
