AEF & AgGateway Highlight Digital Infrastructure at National Mall Event

The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) and AgGateway, two global nonprofit associations working to ensure the interoperability between agricultural brands and technology platforms, have announced their participation in the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) second “Celebration of Modern Ag on the National Mall” event.

The event provides the opportunity for the U.S. policymakers to see that together the associations are providing a foundation that is critical in shaping sustainable agriculture. Taking place May 6-8, 2024, in Washington, D.C., a record 25 AEM members and 30 AEM partners will have booths along the National Mall highlighting the agricultural equipment industry’s contributions and dedication to a sustainable future of food and farming.

The event provides an opportunity for the ag industry and legislators to share in a dialogue together, promoting a better understanding of regulations, compliance and challenges. Compatible and interoperable systems using data standards developed and implemented through AEF and AgGateway are elemental to bringing greater efficiency, productivity and profitability, delivering on existing and evolving regulatory requirements for improving sustainability and transparency – for example, the Food and Drug Administration’s New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint, Section 204(d) of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

Both AEF and AgGateway organize the pathways and forums for the equipment manufacturers and other participants in the agricultural industry to collaborate on precision farming technology.
