ARDC Food Security Data Challenges Forum

About the Event

Held virtually on Zoom, the ARDC Food Security Data Challenges Forum will showcase results from our Food Security Data Challenges program, which has been developing innovative digital infrastructure solutions to data challenges in food security research, spanning areas such as traceability, provenance, food equity and food relief, agriculture, aquaculture and biosecurity.

Speakers

We will hear from project leaders in the Food Security Data Challenges program, including:

• Dr Chris Baker, The University of Melbourne discussing Enhancing Models for Rapid Decision-Support in Emergency Animal Disease Outbreaks (HASTE)
• A/Prof Ricardo Soares Magalhaes, The University of Queensland, discussing Advancing Agribusiness: Digital Transformation to Prevent Pathogen Resistance and Improve Food Security
• Kieran Murphy, Agriculture Victoria, discussing Implementing GS1 Traceability Standards for Orchard Chemical Use and Beehive Movements
• Donna Cawthorn, Queensland Department of Primary Industries, discussing Building A Traceability Data Infrastructure to Track Provenance and Quality in Australian Seafood Supply Chains
• Dr Nina Welti, CSIRO, discussing Connecting/Federating Stable Isotopic Data Resources
• Nicole Stubing, Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC), discussing Increasing Food Security Through Liberation of Fishing and Aquaculture Data
• Donald Hobern, APPN, discussing Multi-Scalar Crop Characterisation Network (MCCN)
• Paul Atyeo, Australian Bureau of Statistics, discussing Enhancing the Apparent Consumption of Foodstuffs Dataset to Inform Food Consumption Patterns
• Sarah Pennell, Foodbank, discussing Mapping Food Insecurity and Food Relief in Australia
• Highlights from the Data Sharing Initiative project on improving data sharing practices between farmers and technology/service providers
• Dr Stefanie Kethers, Program Manager, ARDC

About Food Security Data Challenges

The ARDC established its Food Security Data Challenges program to create innovative digital infrastructure solutions with the aim of improving research into Australia’s production, consumption and distribution of safe and high-quality food.

As part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), the program is developing national scale data and digital infrastructure capability aligned with national priority research areas. We took a participatory design approach to developing projects within the program.

The Food Security Data Challenges are part of the ARDC’s Translational Research Data Challenges initiative, providing innovative, digital infrastructure solutions to real-world problems.
