Abstract
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 Material includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more.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.
