AGORA

AGORA is one of the five programs within Research4Life, a public-private partnership providing free or low-cost access to scientific and professional knowledge to institutions in lower income countries. AGORA is dedicated to agricultural information.

It was launched in 2003 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with Cornell University and publisher partners.

Coordinated by the FAO on behalf of its multiple public and private partners, the goal is to support the effective use of agricultural research, education and training by academics, students, practitioners and government personnel with access to high-quality, relevant and timely agricultural information on the internet.

AGORA is part of Research4Life, the collective name for five programs – HINARI (focusing on health), AGORA (focusing on agriculture), (focusing on environment), and ARDI (focusing on applied science and technology).
