Agrifood value capture using data spaces

Premium grain chain

We foster the creation of new sustainable business thinking for the agrifood sector based on an open ecosystem for premium grain chain concept that emphasizes holistic member value creation rather than individual interests and desires based on efficient data sharing.

Three use cases: (1) Carbon footprint calculation using production process (PA) data. (2) Traceability of grain sales lots down to fields. (3) Data sharing within a farmers’ group to prepare common grain sales.

We apply the Sitra Fair Data Economy Rulebook model for the Premium Grain Chain use case to create an agrifood-specific rulebook. We develop and test our solutions in the context of the AgriFood Data Space Finland initiative, and in connection with the Business Finland Co-Research project OurData and EU-funded project Data4Food2030.

Advantages for clients: (1) Farmers can leverage their data as a community (our data) and seek market power and product market value through data-driven collaboration. (2) Food processing industry can verify market claims based on data and increase the market value of their products. (3) Agricultural machinery and tech solution providers become can operate in and exploit the data space environments to their business benefits.
