Abstract Recycling carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into chemicals or fuels presents a promising avenue for mitigating carbon emissions and addressing the energy crisis. Plants serve as the ideal platform for the production of materials and chemicals, thanks to their innate capacity to directly use CO 2 in the synthesis of various organic compounds. While conventional methods for enhancing plant CO 2 fixation may reach their limits, novel technological solutions are imperative. Synthetic biology has illuminated the potential for biosynthesising multiple carbon sources through artificial CO 2 fixation pathways in vitro. Recent breakthroughs in photorespiratory bypasses and artificial carboxylation modules offer significant promise for engineering plants to improve carbon fixation, guiding the design and development of plants with more efficient CO 2 utilisation. In this context, we begin by summarising recent progress in designing or engineering in vitro CO 2 fixation pathways, as well as those solely established in microbes. Subsequently, we delineate strategies employed to enhance CO 2 fixation in plants. Finally, we explore potential methods for introducing artificial CO 2 fixation pathways into plants. These advancements are critical in advancing synthetic biology's efforts to tackle future challenges related to food and energy scarcity.

Abstract As the population expands livestock industry faces challenges including protein inadequacy and infectious diseases. Natural alternatives can help mitigate these issues, for example, by incorporating plant‐derived metabolites containing appropriate concentrations of natural antibiotics and health‐promoting agents into feed supplements. One promising source is cottonseed, a fat‐ and protein‐rich by‐product of cotton plant ( Gossypium spp.). During processing, gossypol, a natural substance with potential adverse effects when consumed long‐term, is often eliminated. However, gossypol has broad‐spectrum antiviral and antimicrobial properties, making it a potential solution to feed safety and animal health concerns. Here, we outline the challenges faced in animal husbandry and discuss how cottonseed may address diverse scenarios.

The world is at a crossroad when it comes to agriculture. The global population is growing, and the demand for food is increasing, putting a strain on our agricultural resources and practices. To address this challenge, innovative, sustainable, and inclusive approaches to agriculture are urgently required. In this paper, we launched a call for Essential Questions for the Future of Agriculture and identified a priority list of 100 questions. We focus on 10 primary themes: transforming agri‐food systems, enhancing resilience of agriculture to climate change, mitigating climate change through agriculture, exploring resources and technologies for breeding, advancing cultivation methods, sustaining healthy agroecosystems, enabling smart and controlled‐environment agriculture for food security, promoting health and nutrition‐driven agriculture, exploring economic opportunities and addressing social challenges, and integrating one health and modern agriculture. We emphasise the critical importance of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research that integrates both basic and applied sciences and bridges the gaps among various stakeholders for achieving sustainable agriculture.

For millennia, agricultural science has been an integral part of humancivilization. From thefieldof “agriculture” to the practice of “cultivation”, these concepts have been fundamental in shaping human “culture”. As modern humans have existed for around 50,000 years, the total number of people who have ever lived on Earth is estimated to be over 108 billion. However, more than 99%of those people were born within the last 8000 years, following the first agricultural revolution. From “slash‐and‐burn” to “primitive agriculture”, the agricultural revolutions have been significant steps in raising humanity's capabilities. Today, agriculture stands as one of the most vital industries in the world, providing food, fibre, and energy to billions of people every day. However, the field also faces some of the more pressing challenges of our time, including climate change, chemical pollution, soil degradation, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss. Addressing these issues requires innovative, interdisciplinary, and sustainable approaches. This is why we are thrilled to introduce Modern Agriculture, a comprehensive, high‐quality journal that will serve as a leading platform for discussions, discoveries, and development in the field of agriculture. By prioritising cutting‐edge research and sustainable practices, the journal is poised to make significant impacts on the industry and beyond. It will bridge the gap between excellent scientific research on the bench and the pressing challenges facing the agriculture, bringing together scientists, engineers, farmers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and the public society. Modern Agricultureaims toprovidea comprehensive perspective on innovative agriculture and its impact on society by publishing high‐quality articles related to various aspects of agricultural sciences, which can be outlined in three layers. First, the functions of agriculture in modern time, such as producing sufficient food and other products, promoting human health, and ensuring resource and environmental sustainability. Second, fulfiling these functions requires expertise from several disciplines, including green agriculture, smart agriculture, soil science, microbiology, pathology, chemistry, agroecology, economics, policies, social science, and veterinary science. Third, the journal's scope covers cutting‐edge sciences and technologies in each of the disciplines, such as agricultural biotechnology, engineering, crop design, breeding, informatics, and farming techniques. The journal's multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach aims to bridge the gap between different disciplines, facilitate collaboration and innovation, and promote the development of modern agriculture.

Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient necessary in small amounts for the proper organism functioning. Se‐rich agriculture, also known as special agriculture, has the potential to improve agricultural production and produce beneficial agricultural products. This review discusses the various applications of Se in agriculture, including animal husbandry, crop production and aquaculture. It covers Se metabolites, the function and regulation of selenogenomes and selenoproteomes of human and animal food and the recycling of Se in food systems and ecosystems. Finally, the review identifies research needs that will support the basic science and practical applications of dietary Se in modern agriculture.

Growth and productivity of plants primarily depend on the balanced distribution of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) among different organs. Previous studies on crop improvement have focussed on the C or N assimilation and distribution. However, recent findings reveal that C and N form a complex integrated network and are often dependent on each other to affect crop productivity. The underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in the coordinated distribution of C and N among different plant organs are yet to be fully uncovered. Crucial roles in regulating C and N balance are played by transporters that mediate their movement across different organs. In Cotton, which has an indeterminate growth pattern, source–sink assimilate distribution could be a major bottleneck impeding fibre productivity. This review summarises our current understanding of C and N transport mechanisms, explores and compares different physiological and molecular approaches involved in the C–N distribution cascade, including cotton and other plant species. A comprehensive understanding of these integrated regulatory mechanisms is crucial for improving crop yields and fibre productivity.

Forest is the most important terrestrial component of the Earth's biosphere, containing nearly 80% of terrestrial biodiversity. However, climate change and population growth are exacerbating deforestation and forest degradation. Reforestation efforts aim to restore ecosystems, but the effectiveness of traditional tree plantations in repairing the ecological function of native forests is controversial. The ideal scenario for forestry in the future is to meet the growing demand for forest products while keeping forest sustainable development. One possible way forward is to greatly improve the productivity and adaptability of forests through molecular breeding to use fewer Short Rotation Intensive Culture (SRIC) plantations to produce sufficient forest products. In the last 2 decades, advances in biotechnologies such as high‐throughput sequencing and genome editing are transforming tree breeding and forestry. Here, we propose possible future directions for modern forestry, including molecular design tree breeding, agroforestry and mixed farming, sustainable and biosphere friendly forestry.
