More recently, we also shared all Good Growth Plan micro-level farm data with the to support the monitoring of development trends such as the . The data is available in the (FAM). With our new Good Growth Plan, we are continuing with this practice and publishing open data on the following topics: soil health, biodiversity, carbon benefit potential on farmland, safe use of products and land productivity.
