About Agrilinks

Welcome to Agrilinks! This is a new space for agriculture specialists and practitioners to access current information and resources on important agricultural and food security related topics and issues. Through Agrilinks, we will leverage an array of experiences, resources, and expertise to encourage and promote knowledge flow among practitioners, USAID, partners, and other organizations specializing and working on current agricultural development issues.

Agrilinks captures new learning in food security and agricultural development, disseminates it among practitioners, USAID mission staff, and other donors, and connects those actors to each other in order to improve development outcomes around the world. Using a knowledge-driven approach to food security and agricultural development, Agrilinks aims to extend and multiply the impact of the learning and innovation developed through agricultural development research and practice.

Agrilinks has launched with new features and functionality that will enable it to provide dynamic, collaborative learning environments. Agrilinks members now have many ways to tap into industry "know-how":

• Connect with colleagues with their profiles
• Participate in online discussions through AgExchange
• Search and filter results in Library Resources
• Read, rate, and comment on documents and resources
• Join a new community

USAID's vision for food security and agriculture development seeks to address the root causes of hunger and establishing a lasting foundation for change. USAID will accomplish this by cultivating and supporting a global community of food security and agricultural development practitioners and building partnerships with public sector, private sector, and NGO partners to deliver more than we can on our own.

USAID's Bureau for Food Security supports Agrilinks and will continue to develop a broad array of knowledge-sharing tools, strategies, and events through the Knowledge-Driven Microenterprise Development program, implemented by The QED Group, LLC and its sub-contractors, International Resources Group and Training Resources Group.
