AI is knowledge intensive and depends on access to info/knowledge
Access to research outputs is essential to address problems
Greater use of info. accelerates economic development in rural areas
Effective access enhances use of information, and stimulate effective research and enhance innovation within and among communities
New partnerships requires greater information sharing/exchange
Knowledge Sharing in Agricultural Innovation
But often ‘public’ information is like thisBut often ‘public’ information is like this
We produce results, but what happens to them? It seems that much useful data and information never
get published and the farmers don’t seem to benefit
“Information and data power innovation, restricted access represent a barrier to farming innovations.”
Information Technologies: Open services such as CIARD.RING, tools and standards
Achievements to be reported through GCARD 2012

A Global Registry to share info related to agric. research and innovation for development
- 345 345 information services in agriculture
164 164 information provides registered their services-123 document repositories with over 4 million accessions, -822,000 full text documents-222 other services registered
Led by
CIARD Ring provides the missing route map to the existing services
THE WAY FORWARD
National organizations: - Recognize that urgent action is needed to implement policies
and practices on opening access to and enhancing use of agricultural research information and data to power innovations.
- Create/Strengthen their research communication activities- Register their services in the CIARD.RINGRegional and International organizations:- Achieve even stronger consensus and support for CIARD- Develop regional knowledge management networks in order to
leverage resources and capacities in support of opening access to agricultural knowledge, information and data.
Donors providing research funds: - Support their grantees in communicating findings effectively.
