New farm data sharing project launched by AHDB
The project is run in partnership with agri software business Rezare Systems and it has been developed to help promote and facilitate data sharing within the agricultural industry based on a set of principles.
AHDB said that the principles will complement the broad “EU Code of Conduct on agricultural data sharing”, which was launched at the end of April 2018.
“While agriculture is making some progress in developing data-rich tools, there remain significant barriers to accessing and re-using farm data for the good of the sector, much of which relates to a lack of trust about who's going to do what with the data.”
“We need some robust principles in place that all players in the farm data chain can align with. Getting data flowing in a transparent, secure and trusted environment needs this step and as a levy funded organisation, we believe it's right we take this forward on behalf of our industry."
Following a report examining the AHDB's role in the agri data landscape completed in late 2017, the organisation concluded it should take a lead role in developing principles that represent our levy payer interests.
