  • Agricultural Data Interoperability IG should more appropriately be called Agricultural Data IG (i.e., not just interoperability).
  • RDA Third Plenary Meeting is coming up in Dublin, March 26-28, 2014.
  • Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition
• Esther Dzale Yenmo presented on Wheat Data Interoperability WG
  • Why wheat? Because it's one of the main global stable crops, and there's an existing effort, Wheat Initiative, one main objective of which is to contribute to global food security. Wheat Initiative has a Wheat Information System. Wheat Data Interoperability WG is working with the Wheat Initiative.
