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 FAO International System for Agricultural Science and Technology (FAO AGRIS); one of the most comprehensive search engines in food and agricultural scientific literature providing free access to millions of bibliographic records up to 260 different languages.
FAO AGRIS facilitates the FAO AGRIS Network with up to hundreds of organizations worldwide contributing knowledge and data to the FAO 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, FAO AGRIS is used by whoever is inclined to find literature on any of FAO's areas of interest.
