Creating a Taxonomy for Citizen-Generated Data initiatives — an interview with Giovanni Maccani

Learn about the ambitious project whereby the regional government of Catalonia wants to become the focal point of an Open Data ecosystem. “We are starting to think meaningfully from the demand side of this ecosystem, as opposed to a supply-pushed perspective, which in my experience has been predominant in this field to date,” says Giovanni Maccani, Senior Researcher at Ideas for Change, in our interview. “We have developed a taxonomy that can basically be applied to describe any citizen-generated data effort.“

Systemically connecting Agricultural Management Practices to Soil Carbon and Food Nutrients — an interview with Dan Kittredge

“SurveyStack has now become this amazing, deeply thought Open Source framework for interoperable data. Through SurveyStack we are able to say with confidence ‘Yes, those quote unquote regenerative practices do connect with increased soil carbon as well as do connect with nutrient levels in food being increased’. And it is being understood by groups as disparate as the USDA and millions of smallholder growers in the global south to be a valuable framework. We are honored to have been at the leading edge of its development and to see all the other partners that are starting to use this SurveyStack framework,” says Dan Kittredge, Founder and Executive Director of the Bionutrient Food Association.

SurveyStack serves Communities collecting Data — an interview with Greg Austic

“Most data collection software is built to serve the desires of the person who built the survey. SurveyStack is built to serve the community collecting the data. In our agricultural applications, we have learned that there is immense value and a strong need for judgement free, transparent, effective tools for producers to benchmark their operations with their peers. We are actively working on those tools in collaboration with others and are actively seeking any farmer groups, extension communities, agronomists, soil health coaches, agricultural researchers, and anyone else who wishes to support better strategic decision-making through effective, transparent benchmarking,” says Greg Austic, Cofounder of Our Sci.

“Acren will for the first time enable implementation of citizen-funded agro-environmental projects in a fully transparent and unambiguous way. It opens up the possibility for citizens to clearly and securely track the positive effect that each project has on the environment, and the ability to attribute the direct positive impact — such as CO2 saved, reduced pesticides — to their participation,” says Dr. Nikola Markovic, Cofounder of Social Impact Network, in our interview.

Establishing Human Realities in Business with Pentagrowth

Pentagrowth: “It enables success because it establishes human realities in business. (…) We enabled users to import their impact data on our platform and not only automate their data analysis and visualisation, but also show them the insurmountable benefits of impact measurement. We enabled the impact actors to serve their beneficiaries a lot better and prove to their investors what they achieved with their money,” says Areti Kampyli from Alice.si in our interview, about how they successfully applied the Pentagrowth method by Ideas for Change in their project.
