Abstract

This policy briefing captures recommendations for the design infrastructure, implementation and operationalization of an Agricultural-Data Hub as a robust digital data exchange backbone for information and data sharing among relevant stakeholders for fact-based decision making among players in the Agricultural value chain, policy makers, and many others towards a more sustainable and climate smart agriculture. Additionally, this document makes a case for an Ag-Data Hub to be setup as a piping backbone of privately or publicly managed distributed networks of data and information systems.
