The data-agri label
The Data-Agri charter highlights companies that commit to respecting a set of ethical rules in their relationship with farmers, for the protection of personal and agricultural data from their farms.
How the label works
The challenges
The Data-Agri chart aims to promote several key points in the agricultural world such as :
Data-Agri supports companies and farms that promote information sharing, innovation and fair competition. The aim is to create a climate of trust between farmers and all the economic actors interacting with them in order to create a context favourable to innovation and value creation.
The control of this information and the protection of agricultural data (RGPD and contracts) are also one of the objectives of the Data-Agri label.
- The risk-free circulation of documents and data produced by a farm via digital systems
- The valorisation and sharing of new knowledge for the benefit of the farm through the crossing and analysis of databases
- The creation of new knowledge for the benefit of the agricultural sector through the analysis of data from several farms
- The development of innovations for all, not only for a few operators.
