In October 2006, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Yale University and leading science and technology publishers launched the Online Access to Research in the Environment (OARE) initiative. The second phase of this initiative has just been announced, so that eligible institutions in a total of 107 low-income countries can now have free or low cost access to over 1,300 environment related scientific journals (some of which cover applications of biotechnology in food and agriculture). See http://www.oaresciences.org (in English, French and Spanish) or contact [email protected] for more information.
