The objective of this Code is to promote digital adoption in the farm sector, by ensuring farmers have confidence in how their data is collected, used and shared. The Code is intended to inform the policies of service providers who manage data on behalf of farmers. It is also a yardstick by which farmers can evaluate the policies of those providers.

National Digital and Future Skills Strategy 2020
In the briefing and consultation sessions held across government in 2019, a few key questions wereasked, such as: What actual digital skills should the strategy focus on? Is there a clearly definable setof digital skills that can or should be set down in a strategy document that should be given attention bygovernment, or encouraged by government, through funding and other mechanisms? Setting downspecific digital skills may be a narrow approach, rather than a strategic approach to digital skillsdevelopment, given that digital skills apply to any and every aspect of economic endeavour and socialactivity. If the world is indeed experiencing a skills revolution, then it is impossible to limit the landscapeof skills development to a choice or selection of particular skills over and above others, as it would beimpossible to predict which skills will be most needed.Therefore, the strategy sets out many layers at which digital skills should be given attention, and manymechanisms for advancing digital skills. It consciously avoids setting out specific digital skills, as suchan approach would risk excluding continuously emerging new areas of skills development and newareas of technology application. The strategy does refer (see Figure 5.2) to digital technology fields andnew job descriptors, but this represents only a sample of the real technology fields and a very smallsample of job descriptions. It can be argued that every job either is changing or will change, as digitalTechnology penetrate more and more economic and social activities. Therefore, the strategy has abroad focus, with a few key targeted directions. Most importantly, the strategy considers the need for (i)a diversity of digital skills, (ii) priority skills areas, and (iii) convergence of digital skills with subject matterknowledge, for example in the case of digital health professionals. While priority areas for digital skillscan be supported in the short term, and revised on a regular basis as the nature of skills demand andsupply changes, the real strength of any national strategy lies in the diversity of skills produced, givingthe country the capacity to adjust and adapt to local and global skills demand cycles. The emphasismust be on diversity with respect to skills, with respect to the skills development programmes andassociated curricula, and with respect to jobs and forms of employment.The strategy highlights three Strategic Implications for the success of its implementation; that is (1)implication for economy, society and education which calls on the education sectors inclusive of SETAsto build a strong focus and invest in digital skills as well as invest in the development of digital innovationskills, including in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, postal services, and health services to mention afew. (2) Cybersecurity which emphasises on encouraging equal attention to cybersecurity skills as toany other digital skills. Programming for cybersecurity should be encouraged as learning programmesat various levels through the school and post-school years, and using mechanisms from self-learning toshort courses and of course degree programmes. (3) Monitoring and evaluation is emphasised as amechanism to build strong resilience for the successful implementation of the strategy.This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za12 No. 43730 GOVERNMENT GAZE

increase availability of safe food by promoting eco-friendly practices and minimizing agro chemicals and pesticides in food crop production; ensure food security through appropriate management of buffer stocks; introducing and implementing agro-ecological region based food crop cultivation programs; increase the productivity of crop production through appropriate Technology; äźâ€šâ· establish proper coordination among all agricultural stakeholders in the local food production process and connect all schools, civil organizations and general public to the program; provide quality inputs for production and establish proper marketing mechanism for their products; ensure building a healthy nation. the strategy aims to address these challenges and in doing so envision achieving excellence in adopting e-solutions to transform agriculture for national prosperity. it specifies a set of e-agriculture outcomes (section 7.1) and makes the following strategic recommendations. 1: increase the availability and accuracy of agricultural information by creating, updating, analyzing and linking critical databases. 2: develop accessible, affordable and secure ict platforms, networks and devices with enhanced sensing, hosting, analytical, identification, tracking and communicating features. 3: improve the awareness, education and skills of farmers, extension staff, livestock herders and other sector end-users by creating and disseminating credible agricultural knowledge remotely. 4: reduce the demand-supply gap, and enhance outreach and profitability of sri lankan products and services through vibrant e-agriculture market places and efficient logistics. 5: improve the research capability, quality, credibility and reach of extension advisory using icts. 6: promote innovation in e-agriculture services. 7: reduce the individual risks of agriculture sector stakeholders (creating early warning systems and agricultural disaster alerts). 8: improve the financing, investing and banking outreach to agriculture sector leveraging on electronic and mobile Technology. 9: improve the existing framework of policies, legislation, regulations and guidelines critical for e-agriculture and ensure its effectiveness implementation. the strategy is guided by the agriculture policy framework and national agriculture policy framework and national food production programme (2016-18) documents published by the ministry of agriculture (moa), sri lanka, which identifies the following priority objectives for the agriculture sector: achieve self-sufficiency in food crops, which may grow locally and save foreign exchange on imports of those food items;
