Realizing a digitally enabled Canadian agri-food ecosystem
Building a farmer-owned data cooperative and verified credential ecosystem
We Face Challenges
Engagement in rapidly evolving market opportunities is difficult for farmers
Current data services leave farmers uncertain of the use of their data and their ability to realize value
There is no simple way to provide direct benefits to farmers for management decisions
Access to on-farm data is complicated
We Propose a Disruptive Approach
Putting Human Trust and Cryptograph Trust in the Toolbox
AgBox and AgID together enable a farmer-owned data cooperative and an ecosystem of verifiable credentials for farm data to:
Simplify transactions between farmers and value chain
Increase farmer control and engagement
Provide secure access to verified information
Protect and promote brands and reputations
Enable farmers, at the table as partners
Let’s Work Together
We are always interested in new ideas, building collaborations to enable a fully transparent Canadian food ecosystem. Together, we have the ability to address the difficult issues of digitization – governance, trust, access, consent and security. The willingness of the Canadian agri-food sector to commit to a comprehensive digital strategy will determine our future as leaders or followers
