National Agricultural Research System (NARS)

The National Agricultural Research System (NARS) is a coordinated network of government agencies, research institutions, universities, and organizations within a country that work together to improve agriculture. Its goal is to develop new farming techniques, crop varieties, pest control methods, and other innovations to increase productivity, ensure food security, and support rural economies. NARS conducts scientific research, shares knowledge with farmers, and adapts solutions to local needs, helping to make agriculture more sustainable and resilient. Essentially, it’s the nation's collective effort to advance farming practices through scientific inquiry and collaboration.
