The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development Corporations, and is focused on three main aims:

• Facilitating the development of digital technology in Australian agriculture.

• Fostering the establishment of appropriate legal frameworks, data systems and access to critical datasets.

• Identifying the data communications systems required to deliver the benefits of digital agriculture to the Australia farm and agribusiness sectors.

Additional socialisation of project findings is required with international stakeholders to increase international awareness on next steps for stakeholder engagement and investment for digital agriculture in Australia.

Currently, the legal and regulatory frameworks around agricultural data are immature. Around the world, many groups are grappling with how best to manage agricultural data and what best practice would look like for the governance of agricultural data which would enable producers to capture the value of their data and for agricultural industries to foster and support digital innovation. The aim of this international travel exchange was to disseminate the research findings of the Legal Dimensions of Digital Agriculture research funded as part of the P2D project as well as provide the opportunity to network and collaborate with researchers working on the agricultural data governance internationally. Interestingly, Australia was shown to be leading the discussion on agricultural data governance in the international context.This Travel Exchange projectS RRDP1809 and 1810 achieved the aims and objectives as the contacts made in both Berlin and Montreal has already fostered some potential international collaboration with the international agricultural research community which will benefit Australian agricultural industries. From researchers presentations at Interest Group Agricultural Data, I was approached by the FAO, to join and lead 1 day of a 5-day international E-Consultation of ethical, legal and policy aspects of open data affecting farmers (from 4-8th June 2018) and to join in an International Working Party on the Legal, Policy and Ethical Aspects of Data for Farmers. This provided the opportunity to showcase the work that was being done in Australia and to connect with organisations who are also grappling with similar issues. Collaboration with Canadian research institutions was also fostered through conference presentations. This provides an important network to draw upon as Australia seriously considers the best way to guide Agricultural data policy and practice.
