What is the Agri-Food Data Space Demonstrator?

The demonstrator is an innovative project that enables the sovereign exchange of data and AI-driven services in the agri-food sector. It fosters collaboration among diverse participants and aligns with the Common European Agricultural Data Space (CEADS) to improve productivity, transparency, and sustainability.

  • Compute-to-Data: Ensures data privacy and sovereignty.
  • Governance Code: Provides transparency, fairness, and sustainability.
  • FAIR Principles: Makes data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
  • Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT): Enables traceability and auditability.

How It Works

  • Data Sovereignty by Design

    Compute-to-Data ensures that data is processed securely without compromising ownership, leveraging proprietary and open data sources like Copernicus and Galileo for high-value insights.

  • Incentivizing Participation

    The demonstrator uses an electronic Euro (e-Euro) to simulate data economies and employs smart contracts for secure and automated data and service monetization.

  • Seamless Integration

    Built on Pontus-X, an open-source data space ecosystem, ensuring interoperability with other connected data spaces.

Get Involved

  • For Data Producers: Maintain control over your data while contributing to innovative solutions.
  • For Service Providers: Leverage advanced analytics tools to process and derive actionable insights.
  • For the Agri-Food Sector: Drive sustainability, productivity, and innovation with transparent governance and shared resources.

Join a diverse network of participants, including data producers and consumers, computing service providers, AI experts, and agri-food innovators. Shape the future of the Common European Agricultural Data Space (CEADS) and access cutting-edge tools for sovereign data exchange.
