As part of the successful Getting Value from Farm Data Networks grower group forum at Technology Park, Bentley, held in 2017, four high quality speakers presented to about 70 attendees.

The forum featured information on farm data ownership, information sharing and the role of farm data cooperatives across WA, developments in rural connectivity and the utilisation of digital tools and agricultural technology. 

The Getting Value from Farm Data Networks forum was designed to provide information and stimulate discussion on digital technology in agriculture, focusing on the role of farm data cooperatives across WA, issues around data ownership and sharing, and to provide an update on the Food Agility Cooperative Research Centre’s (FA - CRC) WA node.

Forum speakers expressed that the current issue was not necessarily just about farm data though more about who had access to and control of that particular data.
