TANZ advances common data definitions, technical standards and interoperable architectures that enable information and systems to work across organisations, technologies and jurisdictions.
TANZ facilitates collaborative research, pilot projects and reference architectures, demonstrating how trusted digital infrastructure can improve agricultural productivity, resilience and sustainability.
TANZ develops governance approaches and supports demonstrations of agricultural intelligence and AI agents, enabling trusted information to be accessed and used responsibly.
TANZ brings together industry, researchers, government and technology providers through membership, workshops and collaborative initiatives to advance trusted agricultural digital infrastructure.
Agriculture faces increasing demands for transparency, traceability, environmental accountability and regulatory compliance. Yet information about farms, farming activities, land, resources and production remains fragmented across organisations, jurisdictions and digital systems. This makes it difficult to establish trusted identities, verify claims, assess risks and share information efficiently.
At the same time, artificial intelligence is transforming how agricultural information is accessed, analysed and used. For these technologies to operate reliably, they need trusted identities, authoritative information, interoperable systems and clear rules governing access and use.
TANZ addresses these challenges by advancing the governance, standards and interoperability frameworks that enable agricultural information and AI agents to operate securely. This supports farmers, industry and governments in reducing duplication, improving decision-making, protecting data sovereignty and strengthening agricultural resilience and competitiveness.
