Varda - Field Data Exchange
Varda is an Ag tech start up developing software solutions for agriculture, founded by Yara International. Varda’s mission is to enable the use of field-level data to accelerate the transition towards a nature-positive food system by tackling the challenge of data fragmentation and lack of standards of data produced on farms every day. Varda operates a digital platform, Global Field ID, that through the ingestion of field boundaries assigns a unique identifier that allows for the identification of fields, globally. Having a common geospatial reference for fields will enable industry stakeholders to ‘speak the same language’, improving the interoperability of digital farming tools and data exchange across the whole food value chain. Through the widespread adoption of Global Field ID, Varda’s goal is to bring together leaders from the agri-food industry to collaborate to transition to a more sustainable, resilient, and transparent food system.
