As digital technologies promise to improve productivity, reduce costs and the environmental footprint of food production, we must engage with important questions raised by the increasing use of data including data ownership, privacy, standards, and fair business models. That is exactly what the Data Initiative is designed to do. Through a unique combination of technology demonstrations, applied research, and data literacy training programs, the Data Initiative is committed to strengthening the data ecosystem in Canadian agriculture.
The following stories highlight activities taking place to strengthen the data ecosystem.
We want to make sure people have the knowledge and tools they need and are empowered to participate fully in ongoing conversations surrounding the growing use of digital technology and data in agriculture.
