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 Its content includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more.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.

In the article - the basis of the organization of land areas based on the intentional action of the state and society on land relations, in order to ensure the efficient and effective functioning of the country's land resources.
В статье рассмотрены – основы системы организации земельных территорий основанные на целенаправленном воздействии государства и общества на земельные отношения, в целях обеспечения рационального и эффективного функционирования земельных ресурсов страны.
Conceptualising context in institutional reforms of land and natural resource management: the case of Vietnam
Research and policy debates over natural resource management in developing countries have largely focused on identifying the set of institutions that best supports resource sustainability and poverty alleviation. We argue that beyond finding the right institutional fit for a social-ecological system, it is equally important to understand how context affects the design and outcomes of institutional reforms. We propose a refined conceptualisation of context, based on a revision of the Institutional Analysis and Development framework.
Mesures in situ et simulations des flux de N2O émis par les sols
Tropical rainforest currently covers more than 90% of French Guiana. Population growth, however, puts pressure on the land, resulting in increased deforestation, partly due to the need for greater agricultural production. Changes in land use are known to alter biogeochemical processes, including greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).[br/]This study investigates the effects of the conversion of tropical forest to cultivation on soil n2o emissions. The study was carried out over a complete crop cycle at the experimental site combi (french guianese coast).
Land-use changes, farm management and the decline of butterflies associated with semi-natural grasslands in southern Sweden
Currently, we are experiencing biodiversity loss on different spatial scales. One of the best studied taxonomic groups in decline is the butterflies. Here, we review evidence for such declines using five systematic studies from southern Sweden that compare old butterfly surveys with the current situation. Additionally, we provide data on butterfly and burnet moth extinctions in the region’s counties. In some local areas, half of the butterfly fauna has been lost during the last 60-100 years. In terms of extinctions, counties have lost 2-10 butterfly and burnet moth species.
Utilization of organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers on asparagus (Asparagus officinalis Linn.) quality, yield and soil chemical properties
Study aims to investigate the effects of multi-mixed organic fertilizers on soil chemical properties and asparagus (Brock's Improved) yield and spear quality grown in Kamphaeng Saen soil series. These three fertilizers were the SMB formula, a mixed of biogas sludge (S), cattle manure (M), and oil palm empty fruit bunch (B), the SMC formula, a mixed of biogas sludge (S), cattle manure (M), and rice husk charcoal (C) and the PMP formula, a pig manure pellets. Field experiments were conducted using RCBD experimental design with 8 treatments, and 3 replications.
