Blog: How can data build global food security?
April 05, 2023 |The Commonwealth |
In his recent blog, Benjamin Kwasi Addom, a trade policy adviser, emphasizes the critical role of agricultural data in driving innovation and ensuring food security. Addom highlights the complexity of the agricultural data ecosystem and the challenges arising from fragmented data management at the national level. To address these issues, he proposes the adoption of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for agricultural data, drawing on successful examples from Commonwealth nations. Addom argues that DPI can facilitate coordinated data management, enhance digital sovereignty, and drive sustainable agricultural development. He calls for collaborative efforts to develop and implement DPI, positioning the Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda as a key facilitator in this transformative initiative.
