CABI is leading on the stocktaking and study of the enabling environment for the African Union Soil Information System #AUSO - was great to meet the team this week in #Nairobi auso.faraafrica.org/work-package...

Privileged to talk for the Coalition for Soil Information Systems for Africa (C4SISA sia.faraafrica.org/c4sisa/) and partners - FARA, ISRIC and CABI at #AFSForum2025 in Dakar. The new African Union Soil Observatory AUSO is carried by Africans for African soil health

I'll be speaking at a special event at the Africa Food Systems Forum #AFSFORUM2025 in Dakar, Senegal representing CABI and the AFSH Coalition for Soil Information Systems in Africa (C4SISA) on Monday. More info on the coalition here sia.faraafrica.org/c4sisa/ #SoilHealth #DataGovernance

Making Gates Foundation investment research #FAIRdata is more than a simple technical challenge blog.cabi.org/2025/05/27/m...

Data governance is a much under appreciated aspect of effective GenerativeAI initiatives. CABI is addressing this in our Gates Foundation GAIA project #OpenScience blog.cabi.org/2025/05/14/l...

Some CABI initiatives have been listed in the AfDB TAAT catalogue. After peer review these are all now considered by them to be proven technologies for improving agriculture productivity. #FAIRdata e-catalogs.taat-africa.org/gov/technolo...

I’m in Malawi to talk about sharing data to help in modelling crop pests and diseases. And I got a new vest for the trip so I look like a proper field scientist! @nibiolandskap.bsky.social #MaDiPHS #FAIRdata

The ninth FAIR Journal highlights lots of practical tools to support data management and access in science and international development initiatives. #FAIRdata #OpenAccess #OpenScience #Agriculture www.cabi.org/wp-content/u...

Today on #WorldSoilDay we look back on a busy year for us at CABI as we supported development of Soil Information Systems with ISRIC - World Soil Information, making soil data increasingly #FAIRdata. blog.cabi.org/2024/12/05/s...

As CABI isn’t on Bluesky yet here’s the story about the framework we produced to help Gates foundation grantees plan for data sharing and #FAIRdata in particular blog.cabi.org/2024/11/25/c...

We developed a toolkit to help data management and sharing easier in international development in agriculture grants. #FAIRdata youtu.be/BSJ7LUAGN-w

The penultimate FAIR Journal in this series looks at the value of #FAIRdata to researchers and funders, and examines the differences to #OpenData www.cabi.org/wp-content/u...

For the past 6 years we’ve been working on supporting Gates Foundation and their grantees improve access to data, making #FAIRdata and ethical data easier to achieve. The culmination of that effort is publication of the toolkit www.fairprocessframework.org
