Description
JoinData is a secure agricultural data-sharing platform designed to give farmers full control over who accesses their data. The solution enables encrypted data exchange between farmers and stakeholders such as suppliers, advisors, and government entities. It addresses challenges related to data ownership, trust and interoperability in the agrifood sector by providing a standardized consent management infrastructure.
Technology
The platform uses cloud infrastructure and encrypted data transport mechanisms to facilitate secure sharing of agricultural data. JoinData integrates with IoT devices and sensors on farms, and provides a web-based dashboard and mobile interface for managing permissions. This enables farmers to access their data easily by connecting data providers and suppliers through the JoinData platform. Data access is governed by user-defined authorizations, ensuring compliance with GDPR and other standards.
Target
JoinData serves farmers across dairy, arable, and pig-farming sectors, including smallholder and large-scale farms. As of 2024, the platform supports over 16,500 farmers, enabling them to manage data permissions across multiple stakeholders and streamline digital interactions in the agricultural value chain.
Business model
JOINData operates as a non-profit, sector-funded digital infrastructure supported by agrifood organizations and partners. The platform is financed through institutional contributions rather than direct payments from individual farmers, and it is designed to facilitate trusted data sharing and consent management across the agrifood sector.
Impact
JOINData supports improved data governance in the agrifood sector by enabling farmers to maintain control over the use of their data. The platform contributes to increased transparency, trust and interoperability in agricultural data sharing, facilitating collaboration between farmers and agrifood organizations and supporting data-driven services while respecting data ownership principles.
