A sustainable development is mandatory, and for such a goal, higher amount of studies on the most diverse systems and topics are necessary to support better-oriented public policies. This special issue brings research show cases focused on the different aspects under the large umbrella of sustainability concept, including environmental assessments of production systems, natural-social interaction, and the current important theme of happiness.
