Applied research addresses gaps in foundational knowledge

The legal, economic, social and public policy issues surrounding data-intensive technologies in Canadian agriculture are evolving very rapidly. Reliable information can be difficult to find, and in many cases it is more common to find resources focused on the United States or Europe.

The Data Initiative is leading or collaborating in a number of applied research projects addressing gaps in foundational knowledge related to the rapidly evolving commercial and public policy environment for data in Canadian agriculture and food.
