Reconciling agricultural
production with biodiversity
conservation
It is widely recognised that agriculture is a significant contributor to global warming and climate change. Agriculture needs to reduce its environmental impact and adapt to current climate change whilst still feeding a growing population, i.e. become more ‘climate-smart’. Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing is playing its part in achieving this by bringing together key research on making the production of the world’s most important crops and livestock products more sustainable.
Based on extensive research, our publications specifically target the challenge of climate-smart agriculture. In this way we are using ‘smart publishing’ to help achieve climate-smart agriculture.
Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing is an independent and innovative publisher delivering high quality customer-focused agricultural science content in both print and online formats for the academic and research communities. Our aim is to build a foundation of knowledge on which researchers can build to meet the challenge of climate-smart agriculture.
