Food and agriculture are fundamentally interdependent, with agriculture serving as the foundation of all food systems and food representing the primary outcome of agricultural activity. Agricultural production provides the essential raw materials—grains, fruits, vegetables, livestock, and beverages—that constitute the human diet, while patterns of food demand determine the structure, scale, and practices of agricultural systems. This interrelationship extends beyond biological sustenance to encompass cultural, social, and economic dimensions, as food traditions, dietary practices, and culinary identities are directly shaped by agricultural production. From an economic perspective, the global food industry is critically dependent on agricultural outputs, and evidence demonstrates that investments in agriculture enhance food security by improving availability, affordability, quality, and safety. Moreover, food and agriculture together occupy a central position in addressing contemporary global challenges, including poverty reduction, nutrition security, and climate change adaptation. In this context, agriculture cannot be understood in isolation from food systems, as the two operate in a dynamic and reciprocal relationship that influences health, cultural continuity, economic stability, and sustainable development.

Introduction
Reviews in Food & Agriculture (RFNA) is a multidisciplinary, open-access journal dedicated to publishing scientifically rigorous, peer-reviewed research across food, nutrition, veterinary, and agricultural sciences. The journal welcomes original research, replication studies, and comprehensive reviews. By providing a fast, flexible, and reliable platform for open-access publishing, RFNA enables authors to share their work across disciplines and reach a global audience.
Aims & Scope
Our editorial team, comprising specialists in their respective fields, ensures objective, fair, and constructive peer review. Manuscripts are evaluated based on scientific validity and methodological rigor, rather than perceived impact, allowing high-quality research to be recognized on its merits. Article-level metrics provide transparent insight into the reach and influence of published work.
RFNA publishes research and reviews in the following broad topical areas:
Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Sciences
Covers all aspects of animal production and veterinary sciences, including nutrition, breeding, genetics, reproduction, growth, behavior and welfare, health management, and pathology. Includes farmed, companion, alternative, exotic species, aquaculture, and game farming.
Entomology
Encompasses all fields of entomology including taxonomy, pest management, biological control, disease, nematology, apiculture, acarology, and arthropodology. Studies linking entomology with genetics, physiology, biomechanics, ecology, behavior, environmental impact, and agricultural applications are encouraged.
Food Science & Technology
Covers food from harvest to consumption, including food science, technology, and engineering. Relevant topics include chemistry, microbiology, nutrition, dietetics, toxicology, public health, packaging, agronomy, economics, marketing, and food law. Multidisciplinary studies are encouraged.
Soil & Crop Sciences
Addresses agronomy, crop production, and soil science, including plant-soil relationships, crop management, agroecosystems, horticulture, organic farming, and disease control.
Unifying Scope
Bringing together diverse fields under one platform to foster interdisciplinary collaboration that advances sustainable agriculture, enhances food and nutrition security, promotes animal and human health, and supports resilient food systems worldwide.
