AGRIS: International Information System for the Agricultural Sciences and
Technology
The AGRIS initiative was set up by the FAO in the 70s and created a worldwide
cooperation for sharing access to agricultural science and technology information.
Based on available technologies, AGRIS was initially collecting bibliographic
references for a central database. However, since the advent of the Internet
in the late 90s AGRIS has become the brand name for a network of centres,
which are promoting the exchange of agricultural science and technology information
through the use of common standards and methodologies.
The AGRIS open archives and bibliographical databases cover the many aspects
of agriculture, including forestry, animal husbandry, aquatic sciences and
fisheries, and human nutrition, extension literature from over 100 participating
countries. Material includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific
and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications,
and more.
AGRIS today is part of the CIARD (Coherence in Information for Agricultural
Research for Development) initiative, in which the CGIAR, GFAR and FAO collaborate
to create a community for efficient knowledge sharing in agricultural research
and development.
We encourage all research centres or research information units all over the
world to participate in this project. By contacting the AGRIS Secretariat
all necessary information to participate will be provided.
More information is available in the AGRIS wiki page.
