AGROVOC is a collaborative effort. AGROVOC is kept up to date by the AGROVOC team in FAO, by a number of involved institutions serving as focal points for specific languages, and by individual domain experts. For some languages, assistance in translation of AGROVOC terms is kindly provided by Translated S.r.l.
If you or your institution want to contribute to AGROVOC on a regular basis, please let us know by writing to: agrovoc@fao.org.
You may also provide contribution to AGROVOC through this web site. When you do so, please also provide your reasons for suggestion.
