-  Plant breeding
-  Crop health and weed management
-  Comparison of cropping systems
-  Livestock husbandry and breeding
-  Livestock health and nutrition
-  Farm management
-  Quality of organic products
-  Socioeconomics
-  Natural resources and agro-ecology
-  Research methodology, on-farm research and innovative knowledge transfer

Drawing on systems approaches within Organic Agriculture, the journal welcomes original interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary papers alongside the reports of focussed disciplinary studies that accord with the principles of Organic Agriculture.

The journal also welcomes papers which take a critical approach to one or more aspects of organic agriculture and/or initiate critical discussions of the principles on a scientific basis.

The journal will also include scientific reviews, invited papers on topical issue, overviews of the status of Organic Agriculture in particular regions / countries and technical notes which draw together the results of a number of research studies in a format suitable for wider application.
