Celebrating two years of data governance certification

We are thrilled to announce that we have reached two years of certification by the Farm Data Principles Scheme (FDP).

This achievement reflects our commitment to data integrity and innovation in agriculture. Over the past two years, we’ve worked hard to uphold the highest standards in farm data management, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and ethical use of data. This certification demonstrates our dedication to fostering a more efficient agricultural ecosystem through data.

Tracey Curran, Industry & Data Manager at Red Tractor said

“As we enter our second year of certification under the Farm Data Principles (FDP), we remain committed to upholding the highest standards of data security and integrity. This certification continues to reinforce our dedication to responsibly managing and protecting our members’ data.”

FDP is a respected authority in the agricultural sector, dedicated to promoting and verifying best practices in data handling. They perform checks and balances on each data handler statement to ensure that the organisation manages data in line with the data principles.

Red Tractor operates a range of data protection measures, such as limiting the use and storage of member data, encrypting and anonymising sensitive data, conducting regular data audits and reviews, and providing clear and transparent data policies and consents. These measures ensure that Red Tractor respects the privacy and confidentiality of its members and handles their data with the utmost care and responsibility.

As technology advances, Red Tractor will continue review and revise our security measures, providing farmers the reassurance that we will always protect their data.

The certificate provides additional reassurance to farmers and consumers across the UK. See all the Farm Data Principles certified organisations here.
