The Australian Agricultural Data Exchange (AADX) was designed by the agricultural industry to enable data from disparate sources to be shared, discovered, merged, and re-used in a secure cloud environment.
The AADX 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:
- Create their own private data exchange
- Publish their datasets to the public data catalogue
- Collaborate with data providers, consumers and technology partners to design build and run new data services
- Integrate with existing commercially available agtech applications.
This can unlock benefits throughout the value chain including:
- Enhance food safety
- Assist in monitoring biosecurity
- Enable traceability and provenance
- Assist in yield forecasting
- Grant preferential market access
- Credential producers
- Guarantee compliance
- Secure new market access
The AADX core platform provider is Victorian company, Eratos, with Food Agility CRC the delivery partner.
