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 Its content includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more.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

Evaluation of high-resolution digital surface models of surface rupture associated with the 2014 Kamishiro fault earthquake, central Japan, using unmanned aerial vehicle photography and SfM-MVS analysis
Surface ruptures associated with the 2014 Kamishiro fault earthquake (Mj 6.7), appeared along the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic line active fault system in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture, central Japan. We photographed it with digital cameras mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Digital surface models (DSMs) were generated from the acquired photographs by applying SfM-MVS technology. The UAVs used in this study were the F450 and Phantom 2 manufactured by DJI Inc., and the cameras were the GR model manufactured by RICOH Inc. and were attached to each UAV for aerial photography.
Spatial-time transformation of organogenic soils of agricultural lands of Belarus
The first changes of drained peat soils on the territory of the Republic of Belarus appeared after hydro technical amelioration in 60-70s of XX century. Nowadays the process of transformation of component composition of soil cover of old-reclaimed soils and increase of degradation of peat soil is going on. The paper demonstrates the results of systematization and generalization of the materials appropriate to the completion of soil-cartographic works on the drained and adjacent lands of agricultural organizations of the republic.
ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКАЯ ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ АРЕНДНОГО ЗЕМЛЕПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ В РЕГИОНАЛЬНОМ АПК
Рассматривается экономическая эффективность арендного землепользования в региональном АПК, что позволит сформировать картину будущего развития земельного рынка, и, при необходимости, скорректировать отдельные его этапы за счет внедрения соответствующего экономического механизма. В Ставропольском крае получат развитие арендные отношения, дифференцированные по структуре земельных угодий и природно-климатическим зонам.
СТРУКТУРА ПАШНИ И ПОСЕВЫ ГРЕЧИХИ В АЛТАЙСКОМ КРАЕ
Исследовательская работа предусматривала изучение структуры пашни в Алтайском крае. В 2015 г. доля гречихи в посевной площади региона составила 7,5%, чистые пары текущего года – 12,8%, зерновые и зернобобовые, включая кукурузу – 67,3%, другие культуры – 12,4%. Урожайность гречихи в крае за последние 8 лет (2007-2014 гг.) недостаточно высокая – 0,74 т/га, и, к тому же, неустойчивая во времени и разнообразная по природным зонам.
