Supply chain project gets four million dollar boost

In 2021 Charles Sturt University was proud to partner with a consortium of leading agrifood stakeholders to announce the Australian AgriFood Data Exchange to enable fluid collaboration up and down the whole agrifood supply chain. The project received an initial $4 million funding in September 2021. Together with government, research and industry stakeholders, the AgriFood Data Exchange aims to enable the timely and productive sharing of information within the entire agrifood sector.

The Agrifood Data Exchange vision is to create an interconnected data highway for Australia’s agrifood value chain. It will provide a digital platform that enables the secure exchange of data between agrifood industry participants and timely access to information that supports decision-making. This will achieve standardisation and consistency of industry data assets.

It will also have the capacity to adapt to new use cases for data exchange that deliver value and support resilience of food chain participants, and provide transparency of agrifood industry data to support multiple use cases.
