Preface: 2022 International Conference on Agriculture, Forestry and Economic Management (AFEM 2022)

Abstract

2022 International Conference on Agriculture, Forestry and Economic Management (AFEM 2022) was held as a virtual event in Qingdao, China on May 28-29, 2022. The conference is a leading international conference for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from agricultural science, forestry engineering, sustainable development, tourism management and economic management.
 As coronavirus spreads worldwide, after careful consideration and following some participants' advices, the organizing committees decided to convert AFEM 2022 into a fully virtual conference. It has been a very difficult decision, but it has also given to all of us an opportunity to innovate and to test a new style of conference in a safer and convenient way in this special period. Researchers from all the world attended the conference from home and saw the live broadcast of the invited and contributed speeches.
 The success of AFEM 2022 is due to the high scientific level of all the contributions as well as to the enthusiasm of all the attendees. The member of the technical committee did a precious job in selecting the papers that were accepted for presentation and for inclusion in this book of proceedings among those that were initially submitted. Beside the authors, participants, we would like to thank the members of the organizing committee, reviewers and volunteers, whose work was fundamental for assuring the smooth running of the conference.
 We hope AFEM 2022 can develop into persistent success in future years, involving participants and speakers from all corners of the world. And we believe that with the strong support of all participants, professors, scholars, this conference will be more distinctive.
