In what is referred to as Big Ag Data, agricultural technology providers are combining data from “smart” devices with weather and soil data to provide farmers with seed, fertilizer, and chemical recommendations designed to improve yields, environmental outcomes and economic return. This event, supported by the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School Canadian Centre for the Study of Co-operatives and supported by the BC and AB Co-operative Associations, will share and mobilize information about who owns and benefits from agricultural data and how it is being collected, shared, and protected from a privacy perspective. The event will also look at how public policy, codes of conduct and organizational models (e.g., data co-operatives) might ensure equitable data ownership and control.
