Currently,   the   legal   and   regulatory   frameworks   around   agricultural   data   are   piecemeal,   fragmented and  ad hoc.  The  aim  of  this  part  of  the  P2D project  is  twofold:  first,  to  outline  the   current  state  of  data  rules  dealing  with  data  ownership,  access,  use,  liability  and  licensing  in   Australian   agriculture; and second, to   recommend   an   effective, efficient and   ethical data   governance  framework  for  Australian  agriculture. 

This  Report has  four  parts:   

1. Introduction, 

2. Data  ownership,  control  and  access, 

3. Data  privacy,  safety  and  security,  and 

4. Data:  trust,  transparency  and  certification. In   this  Executive   Summary,  we   provide   our   key   findings  on   the   current   state   of  agricultural   data   governance   and   present   recommendations   to   ensure that   the   legal   and   regulatory   framework  for  Australian  agriculture  is  digital  and  data  ready.
