FAIRagro Fairness and Openness Commitment

The FAIRagro FAIRness and Openness Commitment represents the shared vision of FAIRagro, developed and promoted to foster FAIR and collaborative research practices in agricultural sciences and beyond. This commitment is based on the NFDI4Earth FAIRness and Openness Commitment (1.0), published by the NFDI4Earth Consortium in September 2024. It is licensed under CC BY 4.0 and available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10123880. FAIRagro has adopted this commitment along with its 12 associated statements, making only minor adjustments to adapt the terminology from Earth Sciences to Agricultural Sciences. These modifications ensure that the commitment aligns with the needs and priorities of the FAIRagro community and the broader agricultural research domain. The objective is to align activities and foster cultural change towards FAIR and collaborative research data management practices across consortia under the umbrella of the NFDI.
