Interrelated (Nexus) Topics

These topics sit at the intersection of all three fields and are currently the focus of global research:

  • Sustainable Food Systems: Balancing agricultural yield (Ag) with biodiversity preservation (Bio) and carbon sequestration (Env).

  • Soil Science (Pedology): Studying the soil as a living system (Bio), a medium for crops (Ag), and a filter for pollutants (Env).

  • One Health: The interdisciplinary approach linking human health to animal health (Bio/Ag) and the shared environment (Env).

  • Agroecology: Applying ecological principles (Env/Bio) to the design and management of sustainable agricultural systems.

  • Biogeochemical Cycling: Understanding how elements like Carbon move through plants (Bio), fertilizers (Ag), and the atmosphere (Env).
