Enhancing Farmer Trust and Digital literacy: Improve the acceptability of digital solutions and technologies by the farmers through improved accreditation, validation of Ag Tech claims and improved digital literacy.
Balancing Farmers interests for Data confidentiality and economic benefit: Ensure that the Farmer data is not misused and the Farmers / State / National interests are protected. At the same time, while protecting confidentiality, ensure that Agri Data is leveraged for its economic potential and a regulated but commercially viable Agri Data market place is created across the Govt, Private sector and the Farmer.
