What is the AgroBase™ Database? The AgroBase Database combines two of the world's most comprehensive databases on agriculture. AgroBase benefits from NISC's composite record technology, which combines duplicate records (citations) from different databases into one record while maintaining all the unique information of the original records. Now you can find the information you need through better and faster access to enhanced records. AgroBase includes both AGRIS and AGRICOLA in their entirety, more than 5.1 million records! You can't find a better value for your money anywhere else. (Updated Monthly)

What is the AGRIS Database? This international database of more than 1 million records is designed to help identify problems involved in all aspects of world food supply. AGRIS, which corresponds to the print publication AgrIndex, is produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

What is source of the AGRIS Database? Over 100 national and multinational centers take part in the collection of agricultural literature drawn from journals, books, reports, and conference papers. Each country which participates in AGRIS submits information about documents published within its own territories. All contributing sources are of non-U.S. origin. FAO acts as a coordinating agency within its global information system, facilitating the exchange of agricultural information to its member countries. AGRIS is an extensive collection of global agricultural literature, reflecting research results and information on food production and rural development.
