What is AGRIS?
AGRIS (International System for Agricultural Science and Technology) is a global public database providing access to bibliographic information on agricultural science and technology. The database is maintained by CIARD, and its content is provided by participating institutions from all around the globe that form the network of AGRIS centers (find out more here). One of the main objectives of AGRIS is to improve the access and exchange of information serving the information-related needs of developed and developing countries on a partnership basis.
AGRIS contains over 8 million bibliographic references on agricultural research and technology & links to related data resources on the Web, like DBPedia, World Bank, Nature, FAO Fisheries and FAO Country profiles.
More specifically
AGRIS is at the same time:
A collaborative network of more than 150 institutions from 65 countries, maintained by FAO of the UN, promoting free access to agricultural information.
A multilingual bibliographic database for agricultural science, fuelled by the AGRIS network, containing records largely enhanced with AGROVOC, FAO’s multilingual thesaurus covering all areas of interest to FAO, including food, nutrition, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, environment etc.
A mash-up Web application that links the AGRIS knowledge to related Web resources using the Linked Open Data methodology to provide as much information as possible about a topic within the agricultural domain.
Opening up & enriching information on agricultural research
AGRIS’ mission is to improve the accessibility of agricultural information available on the Web by:
- Maintaining and enhancing AGRIS, a bibliographic repository for repositories related to agricultural research.
- Promoting the exchange of common standards and methodologies for bibliographic information.
- Enriching the AGRIS knowledge by linking it to other relevant resources on the Web.
AGRIS is also part of the CIARD initiative, in which CGIAR, GFAR and FAO collaborate in order to create a community for efficient knowledge sharing in agricultural research and development.
AGRIS covers the wide range of subjects related to agriculture, including forestry, animal husbandry, aquatic sciences and fisheries, human nutrition, and extension. Its content includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more. A growing number (around 20%) of bibliographical records have a corresponding full text document on the Web which can easily be retrieved by Google.

ESTE TRABALHO OBJETIVOU ANALISAR O PROCESSO DE OCUPAÇÃO E USO DO CERRADO PIAUIENSE, PARTICULARMENTE, DE PALMEIRA DO PIAUÍ RELATIVO À FORMAÇÃO E DINÂMICA DO MERCADO DE TERRAS. A OCUPAÇÃO DO CERRADO BRASILEIRO, DEU-SE EM 1950, DIFERENCIANDO-SE ENTRE AS UNIDADES DA FEDERAÇÃO, EM DECORRÊNCIA DAS ESPECIFICIDADES INSTITUCIONAL, POLÍTICA, ECONÔMICA E NATURAL. NO CERRADO PIAUIENSE, O PRÓPRIO ESTADO DISPONIBILIZOU VIA COMDEPI, TERRAS A PREÇOS INSIGNIFICANTES A GRANDES PRODUTORES RURAIS DO PAÍS. EM PALMEIRA DO PIAUÍ, A OCUPAÇÃO INICIOU A PARTIR DE 1996, CENTRANDO-SE NA PRODUÇÃO DE SOJA.
Conservation Reserve Program in South Dakota: Major Findings from 2007 Survey of South Dakota CRP Respondents
This study summarizes key results from a 2007 survey completed by 753 CRP contract holders in South Dakota. Topics covered include: comparison of national and South Dakota CRP trends, key characteristics of CRP contract holders in South Dakota, current CRP management practices and overall crop/livestock management practices, and respondent assessment of relative importance of various factors affecting their CRP decisions. Projected re-enrollment rate into a new CRP contract varies from 34 percent to 63 percent of existing CRP acres, depending on scenario.
Os Assentamentos Rurais em Mato Grosso
Este artigo faz uma caracterização dos assentamentos de reforma agrária mato-grossenses. A primeira parte do trabalho consiste em apresentar as raízes históricas do problema da concentração de terras, ou seja, um breve resumo da história dos projetos de colonização, da posse da terra através das leis que favoreceram os grandes latifúndios que caracterizam a agropecuária estadual até os dias atuais.
DESENVOLVIMENTO RURAL, MULHERES E TERRA - UM OLHAR SOBRE TIMOR-LESTE
O caminho percorrido para que as questões do género e do desenvolvimento e em especial a sua interligação sejam assuntos importantes e alvo de atenção tanto académica como política, foi longo. Várias áreas do conhecimento, como a sociologia, a antropologia e a economia, contribuem para a construção do conhecimento neste domínio, a par de outras mais recentes como os estudos feministas e os estudos pós-coloniais. Como resultado, as teorias e os conceitos sobre a relação das mulheres com o desenvolvimento e os efeitos deste sobre as mulheres têm sido vários.
Spatial distribution of soil nutrients after the establishment of sand-fixing shrubs on sand dune
Caragana microphylla was the dominant plant species to be used to control desertification in semi-arid Horqin Sandy Land, China. To elucidate the cover effect of Caragana microphylla planted for 25 years on spatial distribution of soil nutrients including C, N, P and K, soil samples were taken from four soil depths (0-5 cm, 5-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-40 cm) and three slope positions (windward slope, top slope, and leeward slope). Soil nutrients under shrubs (US) and between shrubs (BS) were compared to investigate the enrichment effect of plantation.
