collaboration and the sharing of research findings.
c. The
database covers a broad spectrum of subjects within the agricultural domain,
including crop science, animal science, forestry, fisheries, food production,
and rural development.
d. AGRIS
supports agricultural research and policy development by providing access to a
wealth of scientific literature.
e. AGRIS is
available online, making it easily accessible to users around the world.
