The Linux Foundation has announced the AgStack Foundation, an open source digital infrastructure project for the world's agriculture ecosystem.
According to the announcement, the AgStack Foundation is aimed at improving “global agriculture efficiency through the creation, maintenance, and enhancement of free, reusable, open and specialized digital infrastructure for data and applications.” The AgStack Foundation “will not engage in building software applications” but instead will focus on the community-maintained, free and open source software infrastructure needed to build, manage, and run applications.
AgStack provides an open repository, access to public data and models, interoperable frameworks, and tools. And, it aims to leverage existing technologies, including current agriculture standards, public datasets, and open source projects, in a collaborative effort to create a modern digital infrastructure “that will be a catalyst for innovation on new applications, efficiencies, and scale.”
