Moreover, enhancing stakeholders\u2019 capacities toward a systemic approach within innovation processes is urgent. Yet, transition is often hampered by various interconnected obstacles characterizing the dominant sociotechnical systems. Recent studies in agronomy have proposed numerous advances in theories, as well as in the methods needed to understand, design, assess, and implement innovations, to support the transition of sociotechnical systems toward sustainable agrifood\/farming systems. Moreover, deciphering innovative case studies with agronomic perspectives has been shown to generate useful and actionable knowledge for the design of farming-oriented innovation elsewhere. In this Virtual Issue, we would like to address these topics, gathering agronomy-centered papers with theoretical advances, together with papers based on innovative case studies, both in Northern and Southern countries. Interdisciplinary papers to address these issues are also welcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We will include papers on:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Design of farming systems: Theoretical approach, practices, methods and tools<\/p>\n<p>Design and Assessment of innovative systems through System experiments or on-farm experiments<\/p>\n<p>Design of cropping systems and livestock systems at the field, farm and territory scales<\/p>\n<p>Assessment of agricultural and agrifood systems for transition: methodological advances and practical studies<\/p>\n<p>Analysis of farmers\u2019 practices and trajectories at the field and farm level<\/p>\n<p>Designing and assessing resilient, diversified, sustainable agroecosystems<\/p>\n<p>Barriers and levers analysis to transition at the farm level and beyond<\/p>\n<p>Co-designing tools with their users to support stakeholders in farming systems change<\/p>\n<p>Analysing, designing and assessing coupled innovations involving farming systems<\/p>\n<h2>Guest Editors:<\/h2>\n<article class=\"app-collection-editor\">\n<div class=\"app-collection-editor__text-container\">\n<div class=\"app-collection-editor__text\">\n<div
