Access to reliable agricultural research is essential for advancing sustainable agrifood systems and informed decision-making. FAO AGRIS, an initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), provides free access to millions of scientific records, but many users are not aware of its full search capabilities. This webinar will help participants discover advanced search strategies and new curated thematic entry points to improve research discovery.

During the session, participants will learn advanced search strategies and discover the new Thematic Search Cards, which provide curated entry points to research on key agricultural topics. Participants will also learn how FAO AGRIS supports Open Science and the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).
