Summary
The Australian AgriFood Data Exchange (AAFDX) project seeks to define and articulate the business case for investment in an industry owned data exchange with a vision to create 'an interconnected data highway for Australia’s AgriFood value chain'. The purpose of the AAFDX is to provide a centralised mechanism for the exchange of data between participants in the agrifood value chain.
