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”

• 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 Drupalmodules
• 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.
