Forum E-consultation on ethical, legal and policy aspects of data sharing affecting farmers
Day 1: Major challenges from a policy legal and ethical perspective, preventing smallholder farmers benefiting from data sharing
About 80 percent of African countries governance have not been able to provide infrastructures for data storage as farmers information corner, resources such as personnel that collect data and inform their governments are not available for it due to budget constrain for the past 30 years, the ICT policy exist but do not accommodate and linked to farmers, mobile network are trying their best without government support on data for information, for price awareness and for crop production improvement. This is crucial and has decreased severely the power of African countries to feed other continents. Small holders are ready to work on any available information that can lead them to more production and benefiting from accessing markets where possible.
