Food and nutrients refers to the edible materials that organisms consume and the chemical substances within them, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, that provide energy and support growth, maintenance, and metabolic function. In an agronomic context, the topic connects the production of crops to their nutritional quality, addressing how soil fertility, plant nutrition, cultivation practices, and post-harvest factors influence the availability and content of nutrients in the food supply. This intersection of agriculture and nutrition is central to food security, which depends not only on producing sufficient quantities of food but also on ensuring that food provides the nutrients populations need. Agronomy Research covers the science of crops, soils, and sustainable agricultural systems, situating food and nutrient production within plant and environmental science. Related OpenAccessPub work bearing on nutritional quality and human nutrition includes a study of the antioxidant micronutrients relevant to metabolic syndrome and a comparative study of dietary education and nutritional knowledge. These illustrate the broader links between what is grown and how it nourishes. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to food and nutrients within the journal's focus on agronomy and sustainable food production.
