But how is the value of this data perceived and implemented in agriculture? This review article, authored by EnTrust DC Havva Uyar, investigates key ways agricultural data generates value, such as improving processes, predicting outcomes, and tailoring solutions. The research highlights that agricultural data grows more valuable with reuse, urging a shift in focus from data ownership to the ownership of the value derived from the data. These insights highlight the need for robust frameworks and further research to realise the vast potential and value of agri-data.
