DIASCA Dialogue #6 - Farmer Data Wallets: A Path to Interoperability or Just Another Silo?
Dear Friends of DIASCA,
We are delighted to bring you the sixth DIASCA Dialogue presented by Bridge.ong and Preferred by Nature.
We cordially invite you to join us on Wednesday, November 18th 10:00-11:00am CET.
Digitalisation in agriculture has created huge opportunities, along with new silos. Silos that don't store grain, but create new dependencies and can reinforce captured markets.
Traceability can improve visibility, but top-down visibility alone doesn't give farmers more choice, more bargaining power, better access to multiple markets or a fairer share of the value created from their data.
This session will explore whether agricultural DPI and data wallets can genuinely work for farmers, rather than simply around them. Not just who can access their data, but who controls its use and who benefits from its value.
Drawing on recent fieldwork in Rokan Hulu, Indonesia, we will look at some of the practical challenges farmers face around repeated data collection, control of their information and interacting with multiple buyers, standards and projects. We will use these findings to open a wider discussion around interoperability, reusable evidence and how collaboration can help existing systems work better together, rather than creating yet another platform or data silo. The aim is not to present a finished solution, but to challenge the status quo, including our own assumptions, and explore ways to reduce duplicated costs and investments in things that should be shared, while giving rural communities more control, more agency and ultimately more choice.
Presented by Kristian Doolan, Founder Bridge.ong and Kiswara Santi Prihandini, Senior Program Manager Indonesia, Preferred by Nature.
We hope you can make it!
Best regards
Your DIASCA Team
