India’s first Agricultural Data Exchange (ADeX) and Agriculture Data Management Framework (ADMF) was launched in Hyderabad.
The ADeX has been developed as a digital public infrastructure (DPI) for the agriculture sector and is a collaboration between the State Government, the World Economic Forum, and the Indian Institute of Science.
ADeX and ADMF
- Both ADeX and ADMF provide the right platform to ensure fair and efficient usage of agricultural data by the industry and startups and provide a big boost to the data economy specifically in the agriculture sector.
- These initiatives help lead the country from the front in using innovation and technology to drive food systems transformation and improve the incomes of farmers.
- In Phase-I of the project, the ADeX Platform is currently deployed in the Khammam district and will be expanded to the entire State over a period.
- The software platform facilitates secure, standards-based exchange of data between agricultural data users such as agri application developers and agricultural data providers like Government Agencies, Private Companies, NGO and Universities.
- ADMF has been developed after extensive public and industry consultations on the crucial aspects of data protection, management, and innovation.
