Abstract

Law Agriculture, Land and Farm Management
Agricultural data must be managed like any other asset. This requires strategy and best management practice. For the full value to be ascertained from Ag Data, those organisations that collect, manage and share Ag data should have a clear direction and sense of what is to be achieved and how best to achieve that goal. While many different industries are developing Data Strategies to guide the creation of an enabling environment for data sharing, many have yet to embed best management practice for data. Best Management Practice should not only ensure that the technical and technological capabilities of data management and sharing are addressed but also that the legal, ethical and security concerns of the farmers and agricultural industries who contribute the data, are also considered as part of best management practice. The focus of this paper is to discuss the development of Best Management Practice principles for Australian agricultural industries. In line with RDA/IGAD recommendations, the Best Management Practice principles emphasize the importance of transparency and trust in the way that ag data is collected, managed and shared.
