Focus and Scope

Cibarium: Journal of Smart Farming and Food Security is an international, open-access, and single-blind peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing global knowledge at the intersection of agricultural technology, sustainable farming, and resilient food systems.

Published by Balai Publikasi Indonesia, the journal serves as a premier platform for researchers, agronomists, technologists, and policymakers to disseminate innovative findings aimed at bridging the gap between Industry 4.0 innovations and global food security challenges. We are committed to fostering the rapid exchange of high-quality, evidence-based research within the global agricultural community.

 Smart Farming & Precision Agriculture

This focus area highlights the integration of Industry 4.0 technological breakthroughs into modern agricultural systems. It examines how advanced data analytics, automation, and real-time connectivity optimize resource allocation, enhance crop health monitoring, and transform traditional farming into high-efficiency, data-driven operations.

Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in agriculture.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Big Data analytics for crop management.
Robotics, drones (UAVs), and automation in farming systems.
Remote sensing and GIS applications for land and resource monitoring.

 Sustainable Food Production Systems

This focus area addresses the critical need for eco-friendly practices and bio-technological innovations that support long-term agricultural viability. It covers advanced cultivation frameworks, genetic adaptations to changing climates, and the preservation of crucial resources like soil and energy to guarantee high-yield production without compromising ecological health.

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), vertical farming, and hydroponics/aquaponics.
Biotechnology and genetic engineering for climate-resilient crops.
Soil health management and precision irrigation systems.
Renewable energy integration in agricultural production.

 Food Security & Supply Chain Management

This focus area concentrates on the post-production journey, governance, and systemic resilience of global food supplies. By exploring digital tracking, loss mitigation, and socio-economic frameworks, this section aims to analyze solutions that protect food distribution networks against geopolitical, environmental, and structural vulnerabilities.

Digital supply chains, blockchain for food traceability, and logistics.
Post-harvest technology and food loss reduction strategies.
Global food policy, governance, and socio-economic impacts of agricultural technology.
Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies for food resilience.
Target Audience: The journal's primary readership includes agricultural researchers, agronomists, food security analysts, policymakers, environmental scientists, and technology innovators in the farming sector.
