Digital technologies and data-based solutions can help farmers work more precisely, efficiently, and sustainably, improving decision-making and farming practices, and helping increase farm’s environmental performance and competitiveness, whilst also making farming jobs more attractive to younger generations. Collaborative data sharing models play a key role in ensuring that data driven strategies add value to the agri-food chain. On the other hand, data sharing also raises challenges for farmers such as privacy concerns, data protection and ownership.
The overall aims of this workshop are:
- Take stock of on-going successful projects and initiatives that collect and make use of farm generated data to improve farm performance.
- Explore the role of the different stakeholders on farm data collection at farms and their use for agricultural production.
- Provide an environment to exchange best practices on farm data collection, use and sharing.
Within the workshop, among others, the following main questions might be discussed:
- Which type of farm data is being generated on your farm?
- Are you using the service of third parties for the analysis and interpretation of the data generated on your farm?
- What is the value of agricultural data?
- How important do you deem information about extreme weather events?
The event will include a brokerage activity where participants will present projects and ideas and meet other people sharing the same interests.
