[Geo4All] Invitation to Data Ethics Discussion Series

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Ethical Data Initiative, Association of African Universities and the University of Nottingham, I would like to invite you to participate in the next session of the Data Ethics Discussion Series, titled “Ethical Challenges of Data and Research in Agriculture.”

The webinar session is scheduled for tomorrow (20th March) from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM (UTC).

This session will delve into the growing ethical concerns surrounding data usage and research in the agricultural sector. Key topics will include issues of informed consent, data confidentiality, transparency, and equitable access to technology, particularly for smallholder farmers.

The discussion will also explore:

The critical role of accurate data in shaping effective agricultural policies
The interconnection between agriculture and environmental sustainability, and
The importance of collaborative engagement among researchers, policymakers, and local communities.

Expert panellists will share insights on how to promote trust, uphold individual rights, and ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are addressed in agricultural data practices.

Join the discussions at https://ethicaldatainitiative.org/2025/03/11/ethical-challenges-of-data-and-research-in-agriculture/

Best wishes

Suchith
