Case Study 6. Digital innovations to facilitate farm level data analysis while preserving data confidentiality

The case study objective is to show how recent innovations such as “confidential computing” can improve access to farm-level data for agricultural and agri-environmental policy or research, while appropriately maintaining data confidentiality and security. While recognising that there are many relevant innovations around the globe, this case study provides examples drawn from the experience of Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), a world leader in these emerging technologies.
