Markets, Mandates, and Momentum: How Policy Can Unlock (or Block) Farmer-Centred Systems

A fast, visual perspective on how global regulations and standards — including EUDR — are not just compliance mechanisms, but powerful design forces for digital systems. This talk explores how policy choices influence interoperability, investment, and innovation at the farm level, and what it takes to move from regulation-as-burden to regulation-as-enabler. The focus is on aligning market requirements with Digital Public Infrastructure and Agile Data so that accountability strengthens inclusion rather than undermines it.
