GODAN Secretariat

● The world is dealing with the urgent challenge of global food security, coupled

with unprecedented numbers of new technologies that are providing rapidly

growing volumes and types of data which offer opportunities for innovation and

change.

● More than ever, it is critical that policy makers, as well as individuals at all levels

of the agriculture value chains, have access to the information and knowledge

to make informed decisions.

● Open data has the potential to impact lives through more effective and

transparent governance, improved government services, better targeted

development programs and improved research, science and innovation.

Why Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition?

● GODAN works to support global efforts to make agricultural and nutritionally

relevant data available, accessible, and usable for application worldwide. We

focus on building policy-level public and private institutional support for open

data on agriculture and nutrition. We encourage innovation and cooperation to

use open data to solve long-standing global problems and avoid duplicated

effort.

Why Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition?

Brings together agricultural, nutritional and open

data fields and actors in order that:

● Use of open data is stimulated and implemented

● The successes of GODAN are understood &

replicated

● GODAN can learn from the successes elsewhere
