This document discusses open data in the agrifood sector, including challenges and opportunities. It notes that while open data related to scientific information, demographics, statistics, and food safety can be found for the agrifood sector, organizing and managing this data poses challenges due to issues with data quality, structure, and standards. However, opportunities exist to use open data to help development, crowdsource new data sources, and build products and services for the agrifood industry. The document promotes supporting organizations in opening their data and obtaining help for projects to comply with open data policies.
