The material contained in this comprehensive six-volume handbook series provides a basic reference as well as coverage of emerging technologies. Those who initiated the development of the series recognized that professionals in both developing and developed countries would need access to this type of important information to successfully meet world food and feedstock needs. The International Commission of Agricultural Engineering (CIGR) initiated the project with the goal of producing a comprehensive and up-to-date handbook. The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (CIGR member society) was asked to publish and distribute this outstanding collection of technical information.

More than 190 authors from around the world collaborated to produce this comprehensive work. Many other experts participated in a comprehensive review of the material. These authors and reviewers have made an outstanding contribution to world agriculture, helping to ensure that increasing demands for food and feedstock will be met. This collection is available in both CD-ROM and individual hardbound book format. A complete six-volume set of books is offered at a significant discount off the individual book price.
