Real projects.
Real impact.
From federal food safety infrastructure to continent-wide collaboration initiatives — here's what we've built.
“Mission-critical food safety collaboration at national scale.”
The Food & Ag sector struggled to coordinate across a highly disparate system of agencies, silos, and stakeholders. Datastream built FoodSHIELD — growing it from a small pilot in 2005 into a wide-ranging collaboration and data exchange platform now considered mission critical to food & ag users across the country.
- Honorable Mention for national collaboration platforms at the Adobe Max Awards — three years running
- Official Standard Operating Procedure status for federal agencies
- State teams adopt FoodSHIELD to augment data sharing inside task forces and state departments
- Rapid Response Teams use FoodSHIELD for primary data sharing between states and FDA during early-stage outbreak activation
- Portal now contains 28 applications for data sharing, gathering, and collaboration
- Allows other entities to build food & ag specific applications for vetted FoodSHIELD members
