A New Platform to Promote Access to Agricultural Science for Development
The Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) initiative seeks to make agricultural research information publicly available and accessible to all. It works with organisations that hold information or that create new knowledge – to help them disseminate it more efficiently and make it easier to access. The CIARD Manifesto and other tools provide a framework of policy and practices for those holding and creating information and knowledge to share their outputs globally and more efficiently.
