About the GLTEN

The Global Long-Term Agricultural Experiment Network (GLTEN) is a network of long-term agricultural experiments spanning six continents and representing numerous climates, environments, crop systems and farming practices.

The Global Long-Term Agricultural Experiment Network (GLTEN) was launched in May 2018 with the aim of establishing and supporting a collaborative network within the international agricultural science community.

The GLTEN is supported by over 60 Long-Term Experiments (LTEs) across the world which represent diverse and contrasting climate regions and environments, as well as multiple crop systems and land management schemes.

The scientific findings from these LTEs enable the identification of factors influencing the sustainable intensification of agriculture worldwide and can contribute to several of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

The GLTEN is committed to making the agricultural LTEs metadata collection available online under a FAIR Data Principle (findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable)
