Extension and Outreach

LAND-GRANT PRESS BY CLEMSON EXTENSION (Managing Editor)
The Land-Grant Press publishing program was launched in July 2019 (lgpress.clemson.edu).

The Land-Grant Press Cooperative Extension series offers a broad expanse of topics related to the economy, environment and well-being of South Carolinians. The publications are science-based, peer-reviewed scholarly work authored by Extension Agents and university scientists. The aim of this series is to provide practical application for professionals, managers and owners who benefit from Cooperative Extension educational offerings.

The Land-Grant Press — Teaching Section (LGP-TS) series focuses on sharing of observations and reflections of scholarly work for practical application. The series will help CAFLS teaching faculty adopt learning activities, ideas, innovations and strategies to improve teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes.

Land-Grant Press serves as a partner collection to the Home and Garden Information Center (HGIC), which provides research-based information on a wide range of topics for homeowner and Master Gardener audiences (hgic.clemson.edu).
