The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched a new interactive online course, which provides a concise and engaging overview of AGRIS, the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology. This modern, time-efficient online course provides an overview of one of the most comprehensive food and agricultural scientific literature databases worldwide. 

AGRIS is one of the most comprehensive search engines in food and agricultural scientific literature, providing free access to millions of bibliographic records in more than 100 different languages.

Designed for those interested in learning more about accessing and utilising AGRIS, the new online course also offers responsive technology allowing users to easily access the course on desktops, tablets and cell phones, making it even easier to complete.  

No registration is required. Interested participants can access the course here: AGRIS Online Course. 

FAO plans to regularly launch new courses throughout the year. The new interactive, short course format offers access to relevant knowledge and information regarding FAO’s knowledge-sharing platforms in a concise and engaging manner. These courses streamline and optimise materials, reducing text heaviness for a more accessible and digestible learning experience while implementing design elements that cater to diverse learning styles and preferences.
