What’s data sovereignty in agriculture and why should we care about it?
Digitization is accelerating the transformation of agriculture in LMICs at an unprecedented rate, and the resulting generation of large amounts of data has various implications for smallholder farmers. They can unlock new business and impact opportunities from the value of data; however, existing constraints limit their capability to have control over their personal data.
This session at ICTforAg 2022 co-created by GIZ dove into how different types of interventions – indirect, intermediary, and direct – can be undertaken to strengthen farmer control over data, and allow them to generate income or indirect benefits.
