《農業科學雜志》發表有關世界農業發展和土地資源利用的論文。它出版與農業科學和被開發物種的所有方面的戰略和應用研究有關的原始科學著作，以及對當前農業相關的科學主題的評論。感興趣的專題包括(但不限于):農作物和動物生理學的方方面面,農作物和動物造型系統,農業和畜牧業的科學基礎,動物福利和行為,土壤科學,植物和動物產品質量,植物和動物營養、工程解決方案、決策支持系統、土地使用、環境的影響農業和林業、氣候變化的影響,農村地區的生物多樣性,實驗設計和統計分析,以及新的分析和研究方法(包括遺傳多樣性和分子生物學方法)的應用。該雜志還出版書評和信件。偶爾也會出版一些主題期刊，最近包括《百年回顧》、《小麥論文》和《動物系統模型》。

The Journal of Agricultural Science publishes papers concerned with the advance of agriculture and the use of land resources throughout the world. It publishes original scientific work related to strategic and applied studies in all aspects of agricultural science and exploited species, as well as reviews of scientific topics of current agricultural relevance. Specific topics of interest include (but are not confined to): all aspects of crop and animal physiology, modelling of crop and animal systems, the scientific underpinning of agronomy and husbandry, animal welfare and behaviour, soil science, plant and animal product quality, plant and animal nutrition, engineering solutions, decision support systems, land use, environmental impacts of agriculture and forestry, impacts of climate change, rural biodiversity, experimental design and statistical analysis, and the application of new analytical and study methods (including genetic diversity and molecular biology approaches). The journal also publishes book reviews and letters. Occasional themed issues are published which have recently included centenary reviews, wheat papers and modelling animal systems.
