The agricultural domain includes a wide variety of increasingly complex, multi-disciplinary topics. Subjects vary from plant science and horticulture to agricultural engineering and agricultural economics to the environment generally and include an ever-growing array of interrelated research issues such as the linkages between climate change on the one hand and food security, or the loss of agro-biodiversity, or pressure on individual species on the other. Scientists from all over the world are extensively researching those different subjects and thereby consuming as well as producing large volumes of data. The integration process of the services accessing those data requires a registry of all the existing systems, a challenge that has started since the beginning of the project (agINFRA started on the 15th of October 2011 and will last three years). Many of those systems will be efficiently and securely accessed through single web entry points by both end users and system/data maintainers. This contribution aims to demonstrate how the adoption of the Catania Science Gateway Framework (www.catania-science-gateways.it) can have a key role during and also beyond the agINFRA project lifetime providing a unique environment able to deal with this heterogeneity of systems. This work will describe the Science Gateway (http://aginfra-sg.ct.infn.it/) developed by the INFN Dpt. of Catania and registered as a Service Provider of several Identity Federations, which together with the adoption of the CLEVER cloud middleware, can provide a unique interface able to seamlessly access the different services of the project. Among others, the integration and use of the WebGIS-enabled Italian Soil Information System (ISIS), developed by the Agrobiology and Pedology Research Centre of the Italian Agricultural Research Council, will be shown. This very challenging target could be reached only thanks to the adoption of widely accepted standards such as SAGA and SAML that ensure the sustainability, reliability and scalability of the proposed architecture.

The agricultural domain includes a wide variety of increasingly complex, multi-disciplinary topics. Subjects vary from plant science and horticulture to agricultural engineering and
agricultural economics to the environment generally and include an ever-growing array of interrelated research issues such as the linkages between climate change on the one hand and food security, or the loss of agro-biodiversity, or pressure on individual species on the other.
Scientists from all over the world are extensively researching those different subjects and
thereby consuming as well as producing large volumes of data.
