Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is a digital identity that is fully controlled and owned by the individual it represents. Unlike traditional centralized identity systems, SSI allows individuals to have autonomy over their own identity, what information is shared, with whom, and for what purposes. SSI is a relatively new concept, but we argue it has the potential to revolutionize how we manage identity and privacy in digital ecosystems. To explore the potential of SSI in smallholder farmers' data sharing and management, we partnered with Bluenumber Foundation to develop a data traceability pilot in Mexico for small-scale maize producers to manage their farm management data. This progress report from Bluenumber provides an overview of the project activities in 2022.
