Since 1974, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has helped member countries make their research visible and accessible through the FAO AGRIS Network, a global platform providing millions of bibliographic records in 257 languages.
The network brings together hundreds of organizations worldwide, creating a multilingual collection of food and agricultural research, with special attention to work from the global South. It is a key resource for anyone seeking literature across FAO’s areas of interest.
