# Agronomy for Sustainable Development (agronomy-for-sustainable-development)
## Journal positioning
Agronomy for Sustainable Development (ASD), published by Springer, is an agronomy journal
defined by an **explicit sustainability framing**: cropping and farming systems studied
because, and insofar as, they advance the sustainability of agriculture — environmental,
economic, and social. It publishes field research alongside reviews and meta-analyses, but in
every case the **sustainability contribution must be explicit and evidenced**, not asserted in
the abstract and dropped thereafter. A competent agronomy study whose only contribution is a
yield or management result, with sustainability mentioned as decoration, is a poor fit. This
skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's
current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live ASD author guidance.
