What it is
DjustConnect is a web-based infrastructure for sharing data between providers and receivers in the agri-food sector. Farmers and horticulturists can review data requests in a personal dashboard and grant or withdraw permission. When permission is granted, DjustConnect retrieves data from the provider and delivers it to the receiver rather than storing users’ data. Requests must explain what data will be used and why, in line with the European Code of Conduct for data sharing in agriculture. ConnectShop lets receivers review available 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. The platform is free for farmers and horticulturists; pricing for other use is on request. ILVO hosts and manages the service and is described by its maker as a neutral, non-commercial party in the ecosystem. The dashboard runs on a PC; there is no app or mobile version, and smartphone display and usability are limited. Data-request management is currently available for IKM-NET, with more applications expected later.
