Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] The global rise of the Open Science Movement has greatly promoted the academic dissemination and the uptakes of scientific research results. As an important means of advancing the Movement of Open Science, openness and sharing is key to promoting the development of global agricultural science and technology. By reviewing the practice of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for opening up and sharing global agricultural scientific and technological information resources under an open environment, it provides reference for promoting the opening-up and sharing of agricultural scientific and technological information resources and the conversion and utilization of scientific research results in China.[Method/Process] Through a multi-dimensional review of the practice progress of FAO in promoting the opening-up and sharing of international agricultural scientific and technological information resources, the main steps are to take the lead in the construction and active implementation of Agricultural Information Management Standards (AIMS) and multi-channel openness and sharing of multilingual thesaurus AGROVOC, and elaboration on the construction and operation of the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology (AGRIS). [Results/Conclusions] Based on the experience gained by FAO to promote the opening-up and sharing of international agricultural scientific and technological information resources, we summarize some useful suggestions for improving the openness and sharing of agricultural scientific and technological information resources in China from the aspects of the establishment of a standardized management system, improvement of the capability development and promotion of international cooperation.

Key words: open science, openness and sharing, FAO, AGRIS, AGROVOC, agricultural sci-tech information
