This month

Today is World Book Day in the UK and Ireland but libraries and books are being over taken by e-books. However for the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) region that CTA serves, books are still preferred as they are more easily accessible. The CTA credit point system allows our ACP partners to benefit from a range of publications. CTA works with a range of partners, particularly ACP authors and publishers, to co-publish information in the area of agriculture and rural development. Our co-publications cover a range of materials, in both print and electronic format – books, CDs, databases, movies and video. If you would like to co-publish with CTA, please contact us. We will be happy to hear from you. The following are the most recent publications that are available through our publication distribution service. » Read more
