Empowering Data Governance for All

Digifood is dedicated to advancing equitable and sustainable digital food systems through research on agricultural data governance in Kenya, India, and Colombia, fostering a human-rights based approach.

A person stands in a field next to an agricultural robot. The field has rows of young plants, and the horizon shows a soft gradient of blue and warm tones from an early sunset or sunrise. Trees line the edge of the field under the vibrant sky.

An aerial view of agricultural fields with a river cutting through the landscape. The fields are divided into rectangular patches, some covered with dark-colored materials, possibly solar panels or greenhouses. Several boats are visible on the river, suggesting transportation or trade activity. Infrastructure like roads and buildings are also visible, indicating human settlement and development.

An aerial view of agricultural fields reveals two distinct sections. The left side shows multiple elongated rows covered with translucent protective material, likely to guard plants underneath. The right side features dense, unprotected greenery, organized in a consistent pattern that suggests crop farming. A dirt path separates the two areas.

Several people are engaged in agricultural work, gathering and processing crops on a field. The setting is outdoors with grassy and hilly terrain in the background. There are bundles of harvested plants, sacks possibly filled with grains, and plastic bottles on the ground.

Aerial view of a large agricultural field with long rows of green crops and brown paths running parallel to each other. In the center of the image, a group of people is gathered around a truck loaded with harvested produce. The landscape extends into the distance with rolling hills under a hazy sky.

Aerial view of expansive agricultural fields with parallel lines indicating rows of planting or harvesting. Three small figures, possibly workers, are dispersed across the field wearing distinctive clothing that contrasts with the earthy tones of the ground. The fields have a patchy appearance, possibly indicating different stages of crop growth or soil moisture.
