“Our emerging farmer organization approach has three core components
(1) building open source, accessible, farmer-centered tools for farmer groups that help them easily capture and use data with their members informed consent
(2) building the capacity of data officers as trusted stewards of farmer data and capacity builders of their peer members
(3) testing a more direct, but decentralized, investing channel targeting farmers organizations and supporting their climate resilience. This last component is designed to both incentivize greater focus on growing their data assets and commit resources that will tangibly impact their commitment to act collectively.

These three things: a robust data asset, strong farmers organization digital capacity, and growing collective agency could shift the current paradigm. From an agtech ecosystem powered by the extraction and centralization of smallholder data by others to a farmer-driven data ecosystem where the farmer organization becomes a powerful data aggregator and advocate for their members' needs and rights”

Some open questions (as of Apr 11)

• Do we need a cross-cutting data model / mapping layer?

• Where is the decentralization and farmer control? Is there risk of DG becoming a centralized vendor or gatekeeper?
