Rural Industries and Ecology (RIE) is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented research on the relationships between rural industrial development and ecological sustainability. The journal focuses on how economic activities, resource utilization, technological innovation, and governance systems shape ecological environments, rural livelihoods, regional resilience, and sustainable development during processes of rural transformation. Positioned at the intersection of sustainability science, rural studies, and social-ecological systems research, the journal encourages interdisciplinary contributions addressing agricultural and food systems, resource-based and rural industries, ecological governance, digital and smart rural development, green and circular economies, climate adaptation, and sustainable transition pathways. Particular emphasis is placed on research that advances understanding of the interactions between industrial transformation, environmental governance, and long-term rural sustainability across diverse spatial and institutional contexts. RIE is published quarterly online by Scilight Press. More
