Innovation systems in agriculture are critical to the fight against hunger & sustainable use of natural resources

Most public domain agricultural information not yet widely accessible

New types of research, organisations, and collaboration create new demands

Improving the way the partners collaborate requires greater access to, and more effective exchange of, information

Rapid agricultural innovation is knowledge-intensive and depends on access to information

CIARD challenges

CIARD vision Organizations that create and possess public

agricultural research information, share and disseminate it more widely

CIARD partners will coordinate their efforts, promote common formats, adopt open systems

Create a global network of public collections of information

Coherence in information management will increase efficiency & reduce duplication

“To make agricultural research information and knowledge truly accessible to all”

Open Access to scientific and technical

publications in Agriculture is a key

Issue for CIARD

• To strengthen access and paths to accessibility of nationally generated agricultural knowledge

• To build capacity in national systems in Africa to develop the institutional and infrastructural environment necessary for the capture, preservation and accessibility and use of their own national agricultural knowledge

• To complement existing global and national access to research information programmes

• To use GARA as a platform for preservation and disaster recovery, and for the long term protection of knowledge which might again become inaccessible

GARA - a CABI initiative

• Drupal is a popular OS tool to manage  communities, repositories, websites, intranets

• A group of agricultural organizations have agreed to develop an “AgriDrupal” initiative:

• to implement common data models, agricultural vocabularies, and data exchange standards in Drupal modules

• to make these customizations available globally

• to create a global community that shares experiences, good practices and code

• Partners: FAO, GFAR, CGIAR, Cornell University, Rangeland West initiative, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Condesan, etc.
