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 ).
