AGRIS : the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology

AGRIS at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is the service that connects you directly to a wealth of research and technical information on agriculture worldwide. AGRIS is unique for its collection of rich bibliographic records, indexed by AGROVOC, the FAO multilingual agricultural thesaurus

Content in AGRIS includes agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, aquatic sciences, fisheries, human nutrition and extension. AGRIS offers currently almost 9,000,000 records, from which almost 2,000,000 are full text accessed through Google. 

# New AGRIS release [with 370,000 new records;  May 2017]

Information resources presented in AGRIS are produced by research centers, development programs, international and national organizations. 

Some 400,000 agricultural and research professionals worldwide access AGRIS resources each month, and through AGRIS references on search engines and Google Scholar.

Last but not least. AGRIS technical : latest improvements

  • The latest version of the AGRIS registration module has been also released. Many error sources were fixed and made to the module to make it more interactive (for instance, there are rotating wheels when the system is loading, so the user does not get stuck on one page thinking that something has crashed).

This is the list of major technical improvements:

o       Password reset: only email, not the username
o       Registration: country and type of user are now mandatory 
o       Added loading icons and submit button disable event to avoid errors during registration
o       Added check for uniqueness of username 

AGRIS team will periodically (and in due course) share developments as they emerge.

We would highly appreciate, if you could kindly bring the following announcement to the notice of interested parties and also request you to encourage the current and potential AGRIS users to register to AGRIS Dgroups!
