New independent journal 'World Agriculture' launched in London

Global embassies converged in London last week for the launch of the independent journal World Agriculture, a peer-reviewed, completely independent, non-profit, journal, which will explore scientific, economic and social evidence concerning agriculture and its interaction with forestry, climate change, population growth, migration, disease and ecology.

Editorial board member Dr Christie Peacock, a Tropical Agriculturalist and Chief Executive of FARM-Africa welcomed the launch of World Agriculture; ‘It is a timely publication and I have every confidence that this independent journal will be a source of scientifically sound information, sensitive to current evidence on important agricultural issues. World Agriculture will be able to play a role in guiding the actions of policy-makers and practitioners alike.”

Embassies and High Commissions from South Africa, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Denmark, Canada, the US, Argentina and Ecuador among others, are already are pledging their support for and interest in the Journal. The World Bank has also offered distribution support from its 15 centres located around the world. 

Chairman of the Editorial Board, Professor Sir Colin Spedding, explains: "World Agriculture is not yet another specialist journal. It will provide policy makers and advisors, particularly in developing countries, with unbiased assessments of the impact of new technology, population and climate change on the development of world agriculture."
