Abstract
Digital agriculture leverages technology to enhance crop yield, disease
resilience, and soil health, playing a critical role in agricultural research.
However, it raises privacy concerns such as adverse pricing, price
discrimination, higher insurance costs, and manipulation of resources,
deterring farm operators from sharing data due to potential misuse. This study
introduces a privacy-preserving framework that addresses these risks while
allowing secure data sharing for digital agriculture. Our framework enables
comprehensive data analysis while protecting privacy. It allows stakeholders to
harness research-driven policies that link public and private datasets. The
proposed algorithm achieves this by: (1) identifying similar farmers based on
private datasets, (2) providing aggregate information like time and location,
(3) determining trends in price and product availability, and (4) correlating
trends with public policy data, such as food insecurity statistics. We validate
the framework with real-world Farmer's Market datasets, demonstrating its
efficacy through machine learning models trained on linked privacy-preserved
data. The results support policymakers and researchers in addressing food
insecurity and pricing issues. This work significantly contributes to digital
agriculture by providing a secure method for integrating and analyzing data,
driving advancements in agricultural technology and development.
