A regional survey was undertaken in October 2021 to gather input from the production units, i.e., the family farming producers in LAC, for the identification of current uses, needs and expectations in terms of digital solutions. It was conducted within the framework of the collective action on inclusive digital transformation of agriculture facilitated by GFAR and implemented in LAC by FORAGRO, in conjunction with IICA and COPROFAM, with international partners AgGateway and GODAN.

This paper explores the possibilities for strengthening agriculture, in particular small agriculture, often represented by family farming, with the use of digital technologies. Within the framework of an initiative of the Global Forum on Agricultural Research and Innovation (GFAR), the Forum of the Americas for Agricultural Research and Technological Development (FORAGRO),with its secretariat at the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), and the Confederation of Family Producer Organizations of the Expanded Mercosur (COPROFAM), in collaboration with international partners AgGateway and Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN), the approach of putting small-scale producers at the center of digital solution design has been adopted, called “inclusive digital agriculture” (IDA).

Agricultural data flows involve different actors from generation to transformation, enrichment, aggregation and final fruition. These dynamics have ethical, socio-economic, and legal dimensions that affect the way the digitalization of agriculture benefits the various actors, often leaving the least resourced behind... Speakers in this session organized by GFAR illustrate the most important ethical and legal issues related to farm data flows and governance.

The first brief produced by GODAN for the Collective Action on Inclusive Digital Ag. This brief focuses on data sharing aspects of smart farming. The brief addresses the following questions:
- Why do farmers want / need to share data and with whom?
- What are the challenges and risks that farmers, particularly smallholder farmers, face with the adoption of digital technologies and the sharing of their data?
- What are the measures and safeguards to protect against exploitation when sharing data? How can smallholder farmers harness the benefits from sharing such data?
