# 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. ## When to trigger - The author names ASD and wants a fit/framing check for a sustainability-oriented agronomy or farming-systems paper. - An agronomy result must be re-framed so its sustainability contribution is explicit, measured, and load-bearing rather than rhetorical. - The a

What does the agronomy-for-sustainable-development skill do?
Use when targeting Agronomy for Sustainable Development or deciding whether an agronomy / farming-systems manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the explicit-and-evidenced sustainability-contribution bar, evidence and data-reporting expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill agronomy-for-sustainable-development --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
