Subscriber Benefits

Current Publications

With every publication release, CAST sends your library a printed copy of new Issue Papers, Special Publications, and Task Force Reports. This will strengthen and expand your library’s physical collection of credible science-based agricultural information on topics such as animal sciences, bioenergy and biofuels, crop and soil sciences, the environment, and food safety and security.
Commentaries and Ag quickCASTs are available as free downloads from the CAST website at www.cast-science.org/publications. These brief, highly focused documents provide timely information on “hot topics” in agriculture, in user-friendly language.

Reference Publications

As a new subscriber member, your library will receive a “CAST Reference Collection.” This includes more than three dozen CAST publications relating to all fields of agriculture, in the form of CAST Task Force Reports, Special Publications, and Issue Papers (over $300 in value).
