The Journal publishes, in English or Spanish, Research Papers and Short Communications on research and development, as well as contributions from practitioners (Farmer Contributions) and Review Articles, related to pastures and forages in the tropics and subtropics. There is no regional focus; the information published should be of interest to a wide readership, encomprising researchers, academics, students, technicians, development workers and farmers.

In general, the focus of the Journal is more on sown ('improved') pastures and forages than on rangeland-specific aspects of natural grasslands, but exceptions are possible (e.g. when a submission is relevant for a particularly broad readership in the pasture and forage science community).

The Journal will also consider the occasional publication of associated, but closely related, research in the form of an additional scientific communication platform [e.g. a re-make of the former Genetic Resources Communication series of the former Division of Tropical Crops and Pastures of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia].

Areas of particular interest to the Journal are:

Forage Genetic Resources and Livestock Production[...]

Environmental Functions of Forages[...]

Socio-economic Aspects[...]

Topics within the aforementioned areas may include: Diversity evaluation; Agronomy; Establishment (including fertilization); Management and utilization; Animal production; Nutritive value; Biotic stresses (pests and diseases, weeds); Abiotic stresses (soil fertility, water, temperature); Genetics and breeding; Biogeography and germplasm collections; Seed production; Ecology; Physiology; Rhizobiology (including BNF, BNI, mycorrhizae); Forage conservation; Economics; Multilocational experimentation; Modelling.

本期刊以英语或西班牙语发表有关研究和开发的研究论文和简短通讯，以及从业人员的贡献（农民贡献）和评论文章，涉及热带和亚热带的牧场和牧草。没有区域重点；发表的信息应该引起广大读者的兴趣，包括研究人员、学者、学生、技术人员、开发人员和农民。

一般来说，本期刊的重点更多地放在播种（“改良”）的牧场和牧草上，而不是天然草原的牧场特定方面，但也有例外（例如，当投稿与牧场和牧草科学界的广大读者相关时）。

本期刊还将考虑偶尔以额外的科学交流平台的形式发表相关但密切相关的研究[例如澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）热带作物和牧场司原遗传资源通讯系列的重制版。

本期刊特别感兴趣的领域包括：

牧草遗传资源和畜牧生产[...]

牧草的环境功能[...]

社会经济方面[...]

上述领域内的主题可能包括：多样性评估；农学；建立（包括施肥）；管理和利用；动物生产；营养价值；生物胁迫（病虫害、杂草）；非生物胁迫（土壤肥力、水、温度）；遗传学和育种；生物地理学和种质收集；种子生产；生态学；生理学；根瘤菌学（包括 BNF、BNI、菌根）；牧草保护；经济学；多地点实验；建模。
