Developed jointly by Eratos and Food Agility CRC, the Australian Agricultural Data Exchange (AADX) initiative enables data from disparate sources to be shared, discovered, merged, and re-used in a secure cloud environment. It assists in facilitating the transfer of production and value chain data via a data marketplace. It adopts existing industry standards as a baseline, enabling users to 1) Create their own private data exchange 2) Publish their datasets to the public data catalogue 3) Collaborate with data providers, consumers and technology partners to design build and run new data services 4) Integrate with existing commercially available agtech applications. AADX initiative's benefits throughout the value chain include 1) Enhance food safety 2) Assist in monitoring biosecurity 3) Enable traceability and provenance 4) Assist in yield forecasting 5) Grant preferential market access 6) Credential producers 7) Guarantee compliance and 8) Secure new market access.
