AGRIS is the international information system for the agricultural sciences and technology. It was created by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 1974, to facilitate information exchange and to bring together world literature dealing with all aspects of agriculture. AGRIS is a cooperative system in which participating countries input references to the literature produced within their boundaries and, in return, draw on the information provided by the other participants. To date, 240 national, international and intergovernmental centres participate.
Latest news! The AGRIS Repository is now available in a new revised version, which exploits the advantages of both open source search engine APIs (Lucene), and structured XML. Click on the link below to search the entire AGRIS bibliographic database, from 1975 to the present day.
