Canada’s largest university press, the University of Toronto Press (UTP) has partnered with Canadian Science Publishing (CSP) to produce a new list of science books.

The new list will address the critical scientific questions of our time including biodiversity, Arctic science, climate, ocean health aquatic sciences and conservation science. The university has joined forces with Canadian Science Publishing to boost relevance, integrity, research in Canada and abroad and the impact of vital knowledge.

Antonia Pop, Vice President of, the Publishing Division at UTP said, “We have long admired CSP’s continued dedication to the scientific community and commitment to rigorous scientific research.

University of Toronto research on reducing emissions

University of Toronto researchers found that urban agriculture holds the keys to improving access to food for large cities and it can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Urban agriculture includes agriculture on apartment building roofs and raised garden beds under hydro corridors.

Marney Isaac, a professor in the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences and the Department of Global Development Studies at U of T Scarborough said, “Urban areas have so much food-growing potential, but our knowledge about how, where and what kind of crops can be grown in and around cities is limited."

“We know even less about how well urban agriculture can capture and store carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is a major contributor to climate change," added Marney Isaac.

“The majority of our food is imported, so there’s a huge security element,” says Isaac.
