Research Project: Agricultural Data Security to Enable Precision, Data-Driven Management

Location: Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory

Project Number: 3064-21600-002-104-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 1, 2024
End Date: Jul 30, 2028

Objective:
Objective 1. Address data security concerns for development and deployment of sensors, tools and technologies that advance sustainable crop, livestock and integrated crop-livestock management. Objective 2. Develop improved, transparent, and end-to-end secure data architecture to support integration of new sensors and technologies in agricultural production systems.

Approach:
Cooperator and ARS scientists will engage with agricultural producers, researchers, and sensor and technology developers to assess data risks, and develop solutions that support data-driven management and decision making, maintain data integrity and facilitate data sharing, and ensure security of personal and farm level data.
