Universidad de El Salvador: First AGRIS data provider in country

Founded in 1841, the Universidad de El Salvador (UES) stands as the country's largest and oldest university, representing a significant pillar of academic excellence. As the sole public university in El Salvador, UES has taken a pioneering step by becoming the first data provider from the country to join the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology – AGRIS, of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

With 2,280 records indexed in AGRIS, UES contributes expertise in diverse thematic areas, including endemic plants, forestry, animal nutrition, hydrology, and crops, among others. This substantial repository strengthens AGRIS's resources, further enriching its extensive database. You can access the database at this link.

This groundbreaking collaboration establishes UES as a vital contributor to the AGRIS Network, reinforcing the Central American perspective. As the network expands, UES joins efforts to advance FAO's mission of fostering international cooperation and promoting knowledge sharing for more productive, sustainable, and resilient agri-food systems.
