DIH Agrifood Data Space

DIH AGRIFOOD DATA SPACE
is a federated data sharing platform where sharing data from the Agrifood sector is based on well-known and shared policies and rules defined by a Governance Model.
The data management model is based on ethical principles and guidelines provided by the European Commission. These principles guarantee the data sovereignty of Data Owners and transparency of data collection and sharing among all stakeholders in the Data space.

The essence of DADS is not only technology, but an overall concept or set of approaches that enable faster digital transformation of the agri-food sector, with a special focus on environmental, economic and social sustainability, while following the principles described above. The DADS follows the future-proof approach, where Data spaces should be ubiquitous, both geographically and in terms of linking different domains and data silos. Primarily, however, the DADS is focused on attracting all actors from agriculture and food supply chains, predominantly from Slovenia, but also from wider region.

The DADS is technically provided and managed by the ITC – Innovation technology Cluster Murska Sobota (ITC), while it is governed (according to the Governance Model presented in the DADS Rulebook) under the umbrella of the Digital Innovation Hub AGRIFOOD (DIH AGRIFOOD) represented as a non-formal network of stakeholders in the field of the agri-food sector.
