JIA | CALL FOR PAPERS—Paths out of Poverty

CALL FOR PAPERS

JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE AGRICULTURE

//SPECIAL ISSUE//

PATHS OUT OF POVERTY

Poverty is the first global challenge under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations. From one perspective, humanity is more prosperous than it has ever been; but from another, comprehensive extreme poverty alleviation remains a distant goal. Whilst China has lifted over 790 million out of extreme poverty, more than 700 million today are classified as under extreme poverty in the world according to the World Bank poverty line of $1.90. For these millions left-behind, paths out of poverty could be sought through research.

Journal of Integrative Agriculture (JIA) is organizing a special issue titled “Poverty Alleviation: Paths out of Poverty” to contribute towards the challenge of poverty. JIA, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and the Chinese Association of Agricultural Science Societies (CAASS) and published by Elsevier, provides a vibrant platform for researchers to disseminate their findings.

JIA offers an opportunity to authors of selected papers to present their findings in Beijing, China. Your presence will be complemented by other distinguished researchers from associated disciplines.

We invite submissions of abstracts, followed by papers. Further information will be provided at a later date.

Topics

Possible topics for the paper in the context of poverty alleviation include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Economic and social development

2. Agricultural technology innovation and extension

3. Digital opportunities, e-commerce value chain and smallholder inclusive development

4. Global food value chain development and inclusive growth

5. Comparative studies on poverty governance

6. Innovation on social safety net programs

7. Nutrition, health, education and poverty trap: evidence, effects, and costs

8. Effects of food interventions on nutrition and health of children in poor areas

9. Subjective, relative, and multidimensional poverty measurement

10. Ecological value chain for sustainable development in vulnerable regions
