The document summarizes the Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) movement. CIARD aims to provide an open platform for sharing agricultural research information between initiatives to make public domain research truly accessible. It was founded in 2005 by over 150 partner organizations. CIARD's vision is for all organizations creating public agricultural research to disseminate information more widely by coordinating efforts, adopting common formats and open systems, and creating a global public information network.

Editor's Notes
When you say ‘outputs’ do you mean the technology, the know-how of ag innovation, i.e. knowledge on ag innov? Suggest “ Rapid agricultural innovation is knowledge-intensive and depends on access to information and knowledge” “ Most public domain agricultural information and knowledge not yet widely accessible” seems to fit better in the challenges slide 4
Introducing the issue of lack of access to the outputs of agricultural research Photo credit: Oneworld.net
‘ Lack of institutional and regulatory framework to enable effective knowledge sharing’? By regulatory framework, I am thinking of the limitations for technology transfers or is that opening a can of worms? Perhaps this slide could be separated by global and local challenges.
