About the Journal

I. Aims

The Journal of Agricultural Innovation and Technology (JAIT) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, original research and innovative findings across the spectrum of modern agricultural sciences.

The primary aims of JAIT are:

  1. To serve as a pivotal platform for academics, researchers, practitioners, and students to disseminate cutting-edge research outcomes, applied studies, and practical innovations that drive agricultural progress globally.

  2. To bridge the gap between fundamental agricultural research and its practical application through technology and innovative farming practices.

  3. To foster interdisciplinary dialogue on sustainable and efficient food production systems, focusing on resilience, productivity, and environmental stewardship.

II. Scope

JAIT welcomes submissions in the form of original research articles, review papers, case studies, and short communications that cover, but are not limited to, the following thematic areas:

A. Agricultural Technology and Engineering (Teknologi dan Teknik Pertanian)

  • Precision Agriculture (Pertanian Presisi): Remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Variable Rate Technology (VRT), and proximal sensing for crop management.

  • Smart Farming (Pertanian Cerdas) / Agri 4.0: Internet of Things (IoT) applications, sensor networks, Big Data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) in agriculture.

  • Agricultural Automation and Robotics: Development and deployment of drones, autonomous vehicles, and robotic systems for planting, harvesting, monitoring, and disease management.

  • Irrigation and Water Management Technology: Advanced systems for water use efficiency, micro-irrigation systems, and smart irrigation scheduling.

B. Crop and Soil Innovation (Inovasi Tanaman dan Tanah)

  • Crop Genetics and Breeding Technology: Application of modern biotechnology (e.g., genome editing, molecular markers) for the development of superior crop varieties.

  • Pest and Disease Management Innovation: Biological control technologies, integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, and novel delivery systems for biocides.

  • Sustainable Soil Management: Innovative use of bio-fertilizers, soil health monitoring technology, and conservation tillage practices.

C. Socio-Economics and Policy (Socio-Ekonomi dan Kebijakan)

  • Technology Adoption and Transfer: Studies on the diffusion, acceptance, and economic viability of new agricultural technologies among farmers.

  • Agricultural Value Chain Innovation: Improvement of post-harvest handling, storage technology, food traceability, and market access optimization.

  • Agricultural Policy and Impact: Analysis of policies related to food security, technological investment, intellectual property rights (IPR) in agriculture, and land use efficiency.

D. Horticulture, Livestock, and Aquaculture (Hortikultura, Peternakan, dan Akuakultur)

  • Innovative Horticultural Systems: Vertical farming, controlled environment agriculture (CEA), and hydroponics/aeroponics technology.

  • Livestock Technology: Smart animal husbandry, precision feeding systems, breeding technologies, and farm waste management innovations.

  • Aquaculture Technology: Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), monitoring technology for water quality, and sustainable feed development.
