NFF Australian Farm Data Code

Calling all AgTechs that are collecting, managing, or sharing, farm data!

Australian farmers are demanding more transparency and control over how their farm data is managed.

In response, the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) has developed the Australian Farm Data Code in consultation with their members and industry experts.

The Code is intended to inform the data management policies of product and service providers who manage data on behalf of farmers. It is also a yardstick by which farmers can evaluate the data terms and policies of those providers.

Benefits to farmers include:

• increased awareness and understanding of the ways in which providers are collecting, using, and sharing their farm data;
• a framework to compare providers and inform negotiations about data terms and policies; and
• improvements to industry-wide data practices over time.

Benefits for service providers include:

• clear and agreed guidance on data policies; and,
• a helpful framework to inform discussions with farmers about data.
