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 Its content includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more.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

Subsidies have moderate to medium influence.
[Development of a methodology for self-protection against forest fires in the public trails of Andalusia [Spain]]
La importancia de los incendios forestales en la cuenca mediterránea hace de estas perturbaciones un factor determinante en el análisis y la gestión de riesgos ecológicos, así como en los vinculados a la protección civil. La actual demanda de servicios recreativos en el bosque genera una intensificación de estos riesgos, lo que precisa de una adecuada respuesta por todos los agentes implicados en la gestión.
Aspectos hidrológicos da recuperação florestal de áreas de preservação permanente ao longo dos corpos de água. Hydrological aspects of Forest recuperation of permanent preservation areas along water bodies.
A ocupação desordenada do solo, assim como a ausência de práticas conservacionistas, têm levado à degradação dos recursos naturais. Nesse contexto, tem se atribuído às florestas ripárias presentes nas áreas de preservação permanente o efeito de uma panaceia na proteção dos recursos hídricos. Neste artigo, por meio de uma revisão, tenta-se esclarecer os efeitos hidrológicos da recuperação das florestas situadas nessas áreas, no que concerne à quantidade de água e à manutenção dos recursos hídricos no contexto de microbacias hidrográficas.
