Biological Agriculture & Horticulture aims to act as the central focus for a wide range of studies into alternative systems of husbandry, and particularly the biological or organic approach to food production. The Journal publishes work of a sound scientific or economic nature related to any aspect of biological husbandry in agriculture, horticulture and forestry in both temperate and tropical conditions, including energy and water utilization, and environmental impact. Biological husbandry avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic compounded fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, livestock feed additives and genetically modified organisms. Papers on these topics will not be published, although the Journal does report comparative studies between conventional and biological husbandry.Instead, biological husbandry focuses on crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, off-farm organic wastes, and aspects of biological pest control to maintain soil productivity, to supply plant nutrients, and to control insects, weeds and other pests.Biological Agriculture & Horticulture is a well-established, significant, international focus for the publication of research and information in this important field of sustainable agriculture. As well as scientific papers, each issue contains a News and Reviews section, including many reviews of recently-published books.

生物農業和園藝學的目標是作為一個中心的重點，廣泛的研究替代系統的畜牧業，特別是生物或有機方法的糧食生產。該雜志出版與溫帶和熱帶條件下農業、園藝和林業生物畜牧業的任何方面，包括能源和水的利用以及環境影響有關的科學或經濟性質良好的工作。生物畜牧業避免或在很大程度上不使用合成復合肥料、殺蟲劑、生長調節劑、牲畜飼料添加劑和轉基因生物。關于這些主題的論文將不會發表，盡管該雜志確實報道了傳統畜牧業和生物畜牧業之間的比較研究。相反，生物農業關注的是作物輪作、作物殘茬、動物肥料、豆類、綠色肥料、非農有機廢物，以及生物蟲害控制的各個方面，以保持土壤生產力，供應植物養分，并控制昆蟲、雜草和其他害蟲。生物農業與園藝是一個建立良好的，重要的，國際上的重點出版研究和信息在這一重要領域的可持續農業。和科學論文一樣，每一期都包含一個新聞和評論部分，包括許多對最近出版書籍的評論。
