The Agricultural Open Data Package (AgPack) aims to support governments in developing open data infrastructure to address food security issues. It focuses on sustainably increasing agricultural production, building resilient food systems, and facilitating accessible and equitable markets. The AgPack takes a community-consultative approach and will not provide a blueprint, as agriculture is diverse. It will validate its approach and collect relevant datasets through online and expert consultations between July and December, with the goal of empowering farmers, optimizing practices, and improving transparency and efficiency through open data.
