Why AgriFoodData

This section answers the strategic question — why this platform and not a custom build? Use it to onboard new contributors, brief stakeholders, or ground your own design decisions in the architecture rationale.

Reading order​

  1. The Problem — three structural blockers that keep digital agriculture from scaling.
  2. The UN Standard — the ITU/FAO reference architecture, adopted July 2024.
  3. The Open Standards Backbone — which open specs the platform builds on, and what each one contributes.
  4. Production Use Today — Telangana, ACRAT, NaLamKI validations.
  5. Open Source & Vendor-Neutral — licences, governance, how to contribute.
