Policy brief – Rolling out the Common European Agricultural Data Space

Published on | 1 year ago

The “Agridataspace” preparatory action, one of several data space-related projects financed by the Digital Europe programme, has concluded its activities and delivered recommendations for the roll-out of the Common European Agricultural Data Space (CEADS).

The project aimed at preparing a Common European Agricultural data space (CEADS) that facilitates data sharing, processing, and analysis in a secured, trusted, transparent and responsible manner. Deployment should lead to an increase in the sector’s performance and boost data-driven innovations – both on the private and public side. The CEADS, originally announced under the European Strategy for Data, will support the acceleration of the twin digital and green transitions in the sector, for the reduction of administrative burdens, and providing the foundation for the application of powerful, newly emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.

policy brief (.pdf) has been published to outline the proposed approach for the data space, as it regards governance and business models, and the blueprint for a technical reference architecture. In addition to discussing the enabling framing conditions, the document particularly reflects on how the different stakeholders can contribute to the implementation of the data space: policy-makers at EU and national levels, sectoral organisations, including farmers’ and producers’ organisations and cooperatives, industry, especially agricultural machinery manufacturers, and innovators, such as start-ups.

The Common European Agricultural Data Space will be one among many sectoral Common European Data Spaces
