International Commission of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering

The structure of CIGR is divided into seven technical Sections and various working groups. Technical sections promote and develop their respective fields as they relate to agricultural engineering. The Executive Board appoints working groups to "carry out studies on specific subjects of international importance and interest." • CIGR Technical Sections: • Section I: Land and Water • Section II: Structures and Environment • Section III: Plant Production • Section IV: Energy in Agriculture • Section V: System Management • Section VI: Bioprocesses • Section VII: Information Technology • CIGR Working Groups: • WG1 Animal Housing in Hot Climate • WG2Cattle Housing • WG3Agricultural Engineering University Curricula Harmonization • WG4Rural Landscape Protection and Valorisation • WG5Image Analysis for Agricultural Processes and Products • WG6Food Safety • WG7Logistics • WG8Precision Aerial Application • WG9Plant Factory and Intelligent Greenhouse • WG10Functional Wellness Foods and Nutrition • WG11Rural Development and Preservation of Cultural Heritage • WG12Artificial Intelligence and Data Science • WG13Circular Bioeconomy ==Journal==

CIGR publishes a journal, the Agricultural Engineering International: CIGR Journal. In 2021, the journal had an impact factor of 0.484. It has a SCImago Journal Rank of 0.191 as of 2023. This rank placed it in the third quartile in the "Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering" and "Automotive Engineering" categories and the fourth quartile in the "Agronomy and Crop Science" and "Energy (miscellaneous)" categories. It had an h-index of 28. ==World Congresses==

CIGR has held the following World Congresses: ==Conferences==

Every four years, CIGR holds the world's largest agricultural technology conference, the CIGR International Conference. The conference years and locations are as follows: ==Presidents==
