DjustConnect is a web platform for sharing data between providers and receivers in the agri-food sector. Farmers and horticulturists can review requests in a personal dashboard and grant or withdraw permission. When permission is granted, DjustConnect retrieves the data from its provider and delivers it to the receiver rather than storing users’ data. Requests must identify the data to be used and explain why, 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; pricing for other use is available on request. ILVO hosts and manages the platform and is described by its maker as a neutral, non-commercial participant. Users can register with a Belgian electronic ID and log in using eID or itsme, with mobile-app or text-message security keys also described. The dashboard runs on a PC; the maker says there is no app or mobile version and smartphone usability is limited. Data-request management is currently available for IKM-NET.
