What it is
DjustConnect is a web-based infrastructure for sharing agri-food data between data providers and receivers. Farmers and horticulturists can inspect requests in a personal dashboard, then grant or withdraw permission. When permission is granted, the service retrieves data from the provider and delivers it to the receiver rather than storing users’ data. Requests must identify the data to be used and the reason, following the European Code of Conduct for data sharing in agriculture. The ConnectShop lets receivers browse data sources and request access; listed connections include Flemish parcel information, AVR harvest data, Inex milk statements, IKM certification and Klimrek climate scans. Data is exchanged through APIs. DjustConnect is free for farmers and horticulturists, while pricing for other use is on request. ILVO hosts and manages the platform. Users can register with a Belgian electronic ID and log in with eID or itsme; security keys through a mobile app or text message are also described. The dashboard runs on a PC, with no app or mobile version, and smartphone usability is limited. Data-request management is currently available for IKM-NET.
