The CABI Digital Library landing page with the sub-heading "Research and learning in agriculture, the environment and the applied life sciences".

We’re delighted to say that Cambridge has acquired permanent access to the CABI Digital Library 2020-22 ebook collections!

CABI (or the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International) is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission (in their own words) “is to improve people’s lives worldwide by providing information and applying expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment”.

Their aim is to develop knowledge and solutions for the problems facing us today (climate change, hunger, poverty) and to share knowledge, skills and tools with the people who need it most. You can read more about the organisation on the “About CABI” webpage.

The CABI Digital library was launched in 2022 to house their publications on agriculture, the environment and the applied life sciences. The 2020-22 collections contain 130 DRM-free ebooks covering topics such as Agriculture, Forestry & Food, Plant Sciences, Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Environmental & Natural Sciences, Tourism, Hospitality & Leisure and more.

The collections will be useful to disciplines within the Biological Sciences and the Humanities and Social Sciences; they will be a particular boon to Plant Sciences and the new Crop Science MPhil course starting in 2023-24.

The records are now available in iDiscover. Please also see below for a sample of titles from the CABI ebook collection. Please click here to jump straight to a sample list of CABI ebooks.
