It is essential that DPP Service Providers use standardized formats and protocols to ensure interoperability across different sectors and support operational flexibility.

Yara International would like to thank the EU Commission for the opportunity to contribute to the preparation of the conversion of the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) into a Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN).. We welcome this conversion step. Only if measurements are enabled, improvements can be tracked and farmers can be rewarded for the additional efforts they implement.
