3. FAO’s AGRIS: AGRIS is the international information system for the agricultural sciences and technology, created 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. Go to their website.
4. Agricultural Information Management Standards is a FAO initiative whose main objectives are to facilitate collaboration, partnership and networking among partners by promoting information exchange and knowledge sharing and to harmonize the decentralized efforts currently taking place in the development of methodologies, standards and applications for management of agricultural information systems; consequently, providing a ‘one-stop’ access to system designers and implementers.
