We're still thrilled 🎉 that our Co-Founder, Danelia Doyle, was recently invited to the Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on National Data Infrastructure For Climate Decision (A model of DPI for Agricultural Data) in Barbados 🇧🇧. Audience members at the Accra Beach Hotel & Spa 🏨 were keen to hear solutions to data problems in the region. Jamaica 🇯🇲 is one of the few Caribbean islands that has passed a Data Protection Act 📜, which aims to provide greater safeguards for handling Jamaicans' personal information held in physical or electronic form 💾. Under this legislation, those who handle personal information on a daily basis have a crucial role to play. They are required to implement measures that ensure the safety, security, and confidentiality 🔒 of the data they manage. This underscores the collective responsibility to maintain data protection standards. In her presentation, 'Putting Data Ownership Into Farmer's Hands,' Danelia provided a Jamaican perspective and discussed how Farm Credibly collects, protects, and stores agricultural data 🌾📊. Shout out to Government of Barbados, Commonwealth Secretariat, CARICOM: Caribbean Community, and everyone who participated at the event. #ClimateDecision #DataInfrastructure #AgriculturalData #DataProtection #FarmCredibly #AgTech #Farmer
