Welcome to Episode 19 of the LiveStack Podcast! In this episode, we dive into the intriguing world of agricultural data with a discussion titled “The Three Seasons of Agriculture Data: Shall We Talk About the Fourth One? The Value of Data.” Joining us are three exceptional doctoral candidates from the EnTrust Doctoral Network, who bring fresh perspectives on the value of data in agriculture. These guests participated in the Innovation Value Institute (IVI) Summit at Maynooth University in June 2024. Our guests today include: Erica Tegolo, currently pursuing her Ph.D. at the School of Business, National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUIM).
