AGROVOC team takes this opportunity to inform you about the AGROVOC November 2018 release. Note that starting April 2017, the FAO - AGROVOC multilingual thesaurus has been updated on a monthly basis (see all AGROVOC releases). 

You can search and browse for AGROVOC concepts and terms in SKOSMOS.

Quite a few people use agrovoc-test to see the AGROVOC backend. In case you use VocBench: please note that AGROVOC content editing is now on VocBench3. A new registration for VocBench3 is needed. Web services and SKOSMOS links have not changed.
