AGRIS is an international information system managed by FAO that provides a comprehensive database of bibliographic records and abstracts for literature related to food and agriculture. It aims to make agricultural research outputs widely accessible. AGRIS facilitates information sharing between hundreds of contributing organizations worldwide through its platform. The multilingual database contains millions of records in 90 languages, with a focus on literature from developing regions. AGRIS is a valuable resource for finding information on topics within FAO's areas of interest.

Since 1974, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has provided
support to its member countries to make their research outputs visible and accessible through
the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology (AGRIS); one of the most
comprehensive search engines in food and agricultural scientific literature providing free access
to millions of bibliographic records in 90 different languages.

3. AGRIS facilitates the AGRIS Network with up to hundreds of Organizations worldwide
contributing knowledge and data to the AGRIS platform, resulting in a multilingual bibliographic
collection of food and agricultural scientific research with special attention to scientific
information produced in the global south. Therefore, AGRIS is used by whoever is inclined to find
literature on any of FAO’s areas of interest.

9. AGRIS Network
The AGRIS Network is a community of organizations who collect and contribute with
information about food and agricultural literature and participate in knowledge sharing
activities.
Country hubs, formerly known as National AGRIS Centres, are organizations that act as focal points for
AGRIS at country or regional level. The tasks undertaken by the country hubs include the following:
a) Promotion of AGRIS:
b) Guidance to eligible partners to join the AGRIS Network;
c) Advice to existing and potential organizations on submitting information of the resources (metadata);
and
d) Coordination of capacity development activities.
Data providers are organizations that contribute to the content of AGRIS by submitting metadata via email,
through the AGRIS institutional dashboard or by exposing metadata through OAI-PMH endpoints. Data
providers are encouraged to work closely with country hubs. The list and the map of current data providers
can be found in the AGRIS Data Provider Registry. Types of data providers include research centres,
academic institutions, publishers, governmental bodies, development programmes, international and
national organizations.
