FAOLEX - Database of laws and regulations regarding FAO's mandate

FAOLEX is  a multilingual team summarizes and in many cases translates laws and regulations on topics falling within FAO's mandate - agriculture, cultivated plants, environment, fisheries, food, forestry, land and soil, livestock, water and wild species and ecosystems. Legal information is received by FAO from Member Nations pursuant to Article XI of the FAO Constitution.

"FAOLEX contains treaties, laws and regulations on food, agriculture and renewable natural resources from all over the world. Most of the material comes from the official gazettes sent by FAO's Member Nations pursuant to Article XI of the FAO Constitution, for the receipt of which FAO is indeed grateful. Upon receiving such material, the FAO Legal Office selects, indexes and summarizes in English, French or Spanish significant texts pertaining to FAO’s mandate, i.e. legislation on agriculture, livestock, environment gen., fisheries, food, forestry, land & soil, cultivated plants, water and wild species & ecosystems. Records are provided in either English, French or Spanish or the language of communication used by the originating country."

CIARD RING - Access to Agricultural Reasearch for Development

The CIARD Routemap to Information Nodes and Gateways (RING)   is a global registry of web-based services that give access to any kind of information pertaining to agricultural research for development (ARD). It is the principal tool created through the CIARD initiative to allow information providers to register their services in various categories and so facilitate the discovery of sources of agriculture-related information across the world.  The RING aims to provide an infrastructure to improve the accessibility of the outputs of agricultural research and of information relevant to ARD management. The CIARD RING is a project implemented within the Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development ( CIARD ) initiative and is led by the Global Forum on Agricultural Research ( GFAR ).
