The Agriculture & Public Health Gateway connects visitors to numerous information sources within topic areas that link these two fields. It can be a powerful tool for researchers, journalists, advocates and educators, providing access to recommended resources linked from the site, as well as to powerful database search capabilities.

The two primary means of accessing information through the Gateway are the Browse by Subject collections and our Database Search:

Browse by Subject

Find collections of recommended resources on specific public health and agriculture topics. Each collection is divided into four categories:

• Reports & Other Documents - white papers, reports from government agencies or non-governmental organizations, fact sheets, brochures, or other "gray" literature on a topic.
  
  
• Peer-reviewed Journal Articles - a sampling of some of the best research on each topic.
  
  
• Relevant Organizations - includes governmental and non-governmental agencies, academic centers, and private-sector sources that are considered key information resources within a topic area.
  
  
• Other Tools & Resources - databases, books, films, videos, slide presentations, newspaper articles, or consumer guides, as well as other organizations' lists of resources or Web links.

Search Databases

Concurrently search these key electronic libraries (and the Gateway site itself):

• AGRICOLA - National Agricultural Library collection includes more than 3.3 million bibliographic records of journal articles, theses, patents, software, and technical reports related to agriculture from 1979 to the present.
  
  
• PubMed - A service of the National Library of Medicine that includes more than 18 million citations for biomedical articles dating to the 1950s. Includes links to full-text articles.
