This ensures the data is traceable, timely, and easily shared with pre-approved parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the cooperative, there is a significant upside to supporting your member farms in their use of a digital tool as early as possible.

Further, this is an opportunity to<\/span><b> radically reduce the administrative workload for both the farm and the cooperative. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we can eliminate data entry, we can improve accuracy and timeliness and support better business decisions by the farm and the cooperative, in addition to meeting the new legislative requirements. Imagine the buying power of a cooperative with farm production data at their fingertips?

Coops should establish clear guidelines on the cooperative&#8217;s role in this process, including if\/how they will assist farmers in engaging with certified advisors and facilitating the verification step. Suppose the cooperative is not directly responsible for agronomy advice. In that case, it will still be essential for the cooperative to access a clear timeline of crop treatments and the corresponding approvals every 30 days in order to market the crops or submit compliance reporting on behalf of the farm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verifying every approval for every crop application for every field for every farm opens a complex web of emails, spreadsheets and paperwork. This underlines the need for direct, digital data to be exchanged between the farm and the cooperative. It will require an investment of time to evaluate digital tools that can support both the capture of farm data and the communication between farms and their advisors, but it will be impossible to keep up with the legislative requirements using the old ways of working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3) Establishing cooperative responsibilities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Each cooperative should define its formal responsibilities and liabilities towards the new EU regulations, specifically <\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #cf4521; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #cf4521; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/food.ec.europa.eu\/plants\/pesticides\/sustainable-use-pesticides\/farm-fork-targets-progress_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Farm to Fork strategy<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (never heard of it?<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #cf4521; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #cf4521; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/farmable.tech\/blog\/farm-to-fork-eu-regulations-farms\/\"> Get a summary here<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #cf4521; text-decoration: underline;\">)<\/span><\/strong><\/span>.

Cooperatives play a crucial role in supporting their members throughout this transition. By assisting members in using digital tools correctly, ensuring sufficient data quality, and establishing clear responsibilities towards the EU, cooperatives can streamline operations and contribute to the overall success of not just compliance but the business results of its farm members. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, farm owners and farm managers must acknowledge that the overall responsibility for all operations, documentation, and reporting involving chemicals and fertilizers is their responsibility. This responsibility cannot be handed over to the cooperative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any questions or need assistance adapting your work processes to facilitate efficient data capture and reporting, please contact us.
