FAO AGRIS is a global, FAIR-compliant information system that aggregates and disseminates agricultural research from over 2,000 institutions worldwide, with strong participation from the Global South. Contributing organizations provide standardized metadata, while full texts remain hosted on local or external platforms, accessed through persistent links. Many institutions, particularly in resource-constrained settings, lack the capacity to maintain institutional repositories, leaving their research poorly indexed or invisible globally. FAO AGRIS addresses this gap by decoupling global discoverability from local infrastructure. Institutions can submit metadata through lightweight workflows, which FAO AGRIS curates and enriches with AGROVOC to enable global discovery. FAO AGRIS functions as shared infrastructure for metadata standardization and interoperability, increasing visibility, supporting FAIR access, and enabling research reuse, policymaking, and Sustainable Development Goal monitoring.
