How a data-driven approach can help

1. Maximising data use

A lot of sustainability data is collected, but most of its value is untapped due to limited capacity in data sharing, analysis, and use.

2. Sector wide collaboration

Strong data processes and tech infrastructure allow us to collaborate and drive multi-stakeholder initiatives.

3. Putting smallholder farmers first

Regardless of their tech literacy levels, resources, and contexts, smallholder farmers should have access to useful data for decision making.
