The Journal of Smart Agriculture and Extension Services (JOSAE) aims to advance the field of agriculture and related disciplines by fostering innovation and the dissemination of research findings. Through an interdisciplinary approach encompassing social sciences, agritechnology, biotechnology, and the food supply system, JOSAE seeks to promote sustainable practices and increase productivity within agriculture.
Our goal is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share theoretical and practical insights that contribute to the development of smart agriculture. By accepting qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research, we aim to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the agricultural sector and to encourage the adoption of innovative solutions.
