The International Journal of Contemporary Research in Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (IJCRAES) is an open-access and double-blind peer-reviewed international journal published by the Global Academy of Health and Life Sciences (GAHLS). The main objective of GAHLS is to provide a platform for international scholars, academicians and researchers to share the contemporary thoughts and innovations in the fields of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. GAHLS also aims to become the leading international journal in these domains by promoting interdisciplinary studies within these two areas.
IJCRAES will publish abstracts, original papers, review papers, conceptual frameworks, analytical and simulation models, case studies, empirical research, technical notes, and book reviews. In addition, Special Issues devoted to important topics on Agriculture and Environmental Sciences will occasionally be published.
IJCRAES is published twice a year and distributed in June and December.
Agriculture Science is a multidisciplinary term that comprises several disciplines such as horticulture, soil science and irrigation farming, and whose main purpose is to gain a deeper understanding of agriculture in order to better sustain life.
The research undertaken in this area forms the backbone of the key agricultural decisions made in any country. Further research is needed in the aspects of agricultural science that are still not fully understood, yet play a big role in agriculture. A single piece of research could prove revolutionary in the decision making process of a country, and it is therefore the duty of researchers to uncover such useful information.
Furthermore, agriculture is the engine of a country, and even as human beings make technological advances; significant strides should also be made to ensure that agricultural science doesn’t lag behind technologically. It remains the responsibility of researchers to identify areas where the two fields can be intertwined.
Environmental Science encompasses other fields of science in order to comprehensively study the environment. It is through using the insights provided by Environmental Science that phenomena around the world can be explained, and environmental issues plaguing the world can be solved.
The world is undergoing rapid industrialization that has both apparent and obscure effects on the environment. It is the duty of academics, researchers and research students to investigate the effects of any industrialization activities and to inform society of the findings. In this way, adequate measures can be taken to protect the environment.
The field of Environmental Science research also plays a valuable role in informing the curricula of university environment studies and the planning of lectures. A greater number of academics, research students and researchers publishing in this area create groups of interest that are rich and diverse, and that can contribute effectively to the development of a better environment curriculum. In the longer term, this factor can also lead to improvements in the environment, which will benefit the community on a global level.
