Digital Integration of Agricultural Supply Chains Alliance (DIASCA)

Overview

The aim of DIASCA is to build shared digital infrastructure that connects all actors, enhances efficiency and innovation, empowers farmers, and ensures transparent and sustainable agricultural supply chains.

One goal of DIASCA is to develop common open standards that support interoperability between traceability systems. From a due diligence perspective, DIASCA focuses on regulatory requirements related to deforestation and living incomes and wages. 

The project is developing solutions and validating them through real-world reference projects. It aims to establish common best-practice recommendations for addressing current challenges in data exchange between traceability applications by defining and applying global, open, and cross-sectoral standards.

DIASCA facilitates and supports:

  1. Compatibility between different systems, enabling more efficient data exchange along agricultural supply chains;
  2. Greater efficiency in data collection at origin by making data comparable and reusable for a variety of purposes;
  3. Freedom of choice and improved access to digital solutions for all supply chain actors;
  4. Participation of smallholder organizations in the benefits of due diligence legislation;
  5. Higher incomes for smallholders through greater transparency in agricultural supply chains.
