More regulations, more data: what digitisation brings to the table<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Following the first episode of our Lunch Talks about <\/em>Data Ownership<\/em><\/a>, episode #2 explores the significance of data collection for farmers amidst new regulations. Based on experiences from Ugandan cooperatives, we discussed how the rising request for data is being answered at the farm-level and how digitisation and data responsibility go together in this transition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the newly passed EU laws asking companies to not only identify, but also prevent risks in their supply chains, companies are racing to put strong traceability systems in place. But what do these new requirements mean at farm level? To answer that, we invited Derrick Komwangi from the Ankole Coffee Producers Cooperative Union<\/strong> (ACPCU), who shared his experience of the obstacles and opportunities of digitisation and data collection, and we discussed how to better include farmers into data sharing processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now replay the 30-minute session and learn how to work with supply chain partners to navigate this transition. ACPCU represents 26 cooperatives, and 26.000 coffee farmers in Uganda. Supporting these farmers means overviewing a multitude of certifications – think of EU Organic, Fairtrade or the Rainforest Alliance certifications. Data requests to back up these claims are strongly felt by Derrick. Yet, he stresses that as no single certificate covers all aspects, farmers and co-ops must be supported as a greater need for data is still to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
