Summary
Data and data science capabilities have radically changed agriculture, in research and in practice. A growing pool of available data and new analytics have the potential to transform the sector and the lives of millions of farmers by enabling hyper-local solutions at a speed and scale not imagined just a few years ago. This webinar will address the data capabilities critical for an agricultural organization to be successful in this new digital landscape, including data quality, accessibility, interoperability, ethics and responsible data management. We will also hear a private sector perspective of what it means for agricultural data to be actionable, how multiple datasets might be pulled together into data products that meet needs, and possibility of such efforts being driven by monetization.
