u003ch3u003eSharing is the new havingu003c/h3u003enu003cpu003eThe production and marketing of food, especially of animal origin, form a complex value chain. From feed production to slaughter to the store counter – all players are interdependent. Nevertheless, until recently, accumulated knowledge and experience in one’s own sector were considered a treasure that had to be strictly guarded and often passed on through generations – true to the motto: u0022I know something you don’t know.u0022 u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eBut times are changing: Digitalization has long since taken hold of food production. Sensors monitor the health of animals, drones inspect the fields, and huge amounts of data can be analyzed with common software. The possibilities to collect and evaluate information are almost unlimited. u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eSharing data is therefore no longer just an option, but a necessity. It is important to note that this is not about building any new databases. On the contrary: The key to success lies in sharing your existing data with others and re-orchestrating it together. This is the only way we can master the challenges of the Farmu0026amp;Food industry and ensure sustainable and efficient animal production with combined forces. u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eToday’s motto is therefore: u0022Sharing is the new having.u0022u003c/pu003e

u003ch3u003eDataspaces: Digital marketplaces for datau003c/h3u003enIn order to be able to use data together, there needs to be a willingness to share data, but also digital marketplaces where livestock farmers and farmers, agricultural companies, organizations and authorities can securely exchange and use their data together. Such a marketplace is called a dataspace or data space. It makes it possible to bundle the enormous amounts of data generated in animal and food production – from weather information to animal welfare to batch management – to analyze it and use it for innovative applications. nnTechnically speaking, a dataspace is a decentralized, federated collection of data that enables different actors to exchange and use data securely and trustworthily without requiring central data storage. It is defined by a governance framework that ensures that data sovereignty is maintained and that the data remains with its respective owner. nnParticipating in a dataspace offers companies and other actors a variety of opportunities to strengthen their competitiveness and reduce bureaucracy. Through access to a large data pool, the possibility to optimize processes and the development of new business models, companies can significantly improve their position in the market. nnIn a word: A dataspace lifts the data treasures from the ubiquitous data cemeteries and brings them into a thriving marketplace for data, from which everyone benefits – directly economically, through new insights and through improved sustainability.
u003ch4u003eSo far, most data treasures in the companies lie unused in so-called data cemeteriesu003c/h4u003e
u003ch3u003eA Data Sharing Community for Farm u0026amp; Foodu003c/h3u003enu003cpu003eBasically, a dataspace forms the technical basis and a secure and trustworthy framework for the exchange of data. The Farmu0026amp;Food-Hub of agmadata develops such a data space especially for the industry with the decisive objectives: u003c/pu003enu003cp style=u0022padding-left: 40px;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eData ecosystemu003c/strongu003e – The data space becomes a data ecosystem when the various actors such as farmers, veterinarians, feed manufacturers and food processors bring their data together and use it together.u003c/pu003enu003cp style=u0022padding-left: 40px;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eInteroperabilityu003c/strongu003e – The standardization of data standards ensures interoperability between different systems, which stimulates the exchange of data.u003c/pu003enu003cp style=u0022padding-left: 40px;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eData protectionu003c/strongu003e – The data space offers a high level of data protection, as the data is encrypted and only accessible to authorized persons.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eThis allows members in the 360°efood data space, for example, to offer data, acquire data, offer onboarding and business development support, and acquire onboarding and business development support. It is easy for them to offer novel business models and generate added value from their data and data-related competencies. u003c/pu003e

u003ch3u003ePlatform for secure and fair data exchangeu003c/h3u003enu003cpu003eThe 360°efood data space is based on a Farmu0026amp;Food platform that guarantees the secure and fair exchange of data between participants. This is ensured by some basic principles: u003c/pu003enu003cp style=u0022padding-left: 40px;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eData sovereigntyu003c/strongu003e – Participants retain control over their own data and decide for themselves who has access to it and how it is used. This promotes trust between participants and ensures that data is always used in accordance with the interests of the data owners. u003c/pu003enu003cp style=u0022padding-left: 40px;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eDecentralizationu003c/strongu003e – Data is not stored centrally, but only exchanged directly between participants when needed. The platform only knows which data is available where. This reduces risks associated with data leaks and increases security. u003c/pu003enu003cp style=u0022padding-left: 40px;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eFreedom of contractu003c/strongu003e – The participants negotiate contracts and conditions in partnership directly and individually with each other.u003c/pu003enu003cp style=u0022padding-left: 40px;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eCompliance with regulationsu003c/strongu003e – The platform helps participants to meet regulatory requirements such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant laws by implementing clear governance structures and policies.u003c/pu003e

u003ch3u003eThe most important actors and their rolesu003c/h3u003enu003cpu003eLike every data space, the 360°efood data space thrives on participation. A wide variety of actors are invited to participate in various roles: u003c/pu003enu003colu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eBreeding organizations and livestock farmers / farmersu003c/strongu003eu003cbru003eLivestock farmers and farmers are the primary producers of data, for example on soil conditions, weather conditions, crop yields and animal health, and thus important u003cstrongu003edata suppliersu003c/strongu003e. As u003cstrongu003eusersu003c/strongu003e, they benefit directly from the insights that can be gained from the data, such as optimized fertilization plans or early detection of diseases. And as u003cstrongu003eco-creatorsu003c/strongu003e, they can ensure that their needs and requirements are taken into account. u003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eAgricultural companies / market participantsu003c/strongu003eu003cbru003eAgricultural companies such as seed producers or machine manufacturers have extensive data on their products and services as u003cstrongu003edata suppliersu003c/strongu003e. As u003cstrongu003eservice providersu003c/strongu003e, they can offer farmers consulting services and digital solutions based on the data from the data space. And finally, they come into play as u003cstrongu003einvestorsu003c/strongu003e when they invest in the development of dataspaces to open up new business models. u003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eResearch institutionsu003c/strongu003eu003cbru003eIn the sense of u003cstrongu003eknowledge generationu003c/strongu003e, research institutions develop new methods and technologies for data analysis and interpretation. They contribute to the development of u003cstrongu003estandardsu003c/strongu003e and protocols for data exchange and offer u003cstrongu003econsultingu003c/strongu003e for farmers and companies in the use of dataspaces. u003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eIT companiesu003c/strongu003eu003cbru003eAs u003cstrongu003etechnology providersu003c/strongu003e, IT companies develop the software and hardware required for the operation of dataspaces. As u003cstrongu003eservice providersu003c/strongu003e, they offer cloud solutions, data analysis tools and other services. u003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003ePolitics and administrationu003c/strongu003eu003cbru003ePolitics and administration create the legal and regulatory u003cstrongu003eframeworku003c/strongu003e for data exchange and data security, for example the EU Data Act. In the sense of u003cstrongu003epromotionu003c/strongu003e, they support the development of dataspaces through financial resources and political measures. u003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eConsumersu003c/strongu003eu003cbru003eConsumers are the ultimate u003cstrongu003eusersu003c/strongu003e and benefit from the higher quality and safety of food.
