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 u003cstrongu003eservice providersu003c/strongu003e, they can offer far­mers con­sul­ting ser­vices and digi­tal solu­ti­ons based on the data from the data space.
