DEFRA safeguards the UK's natural environment. Historical fragmentation of data, talent and tools across siloed platforms and organizations, made it difficult to fully exploit the department’s rich data. DEFRA launched its Data Analytics & Science Hub (DASH), powered by the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, to unify its data ecosystem. DASH enables hundreds of users to access and share datasets securely. A flagship example demonstrates its power, using Databricks to process aerial photography and satellite data to identify peatlands in need of restoration — a complex task made possible through unified data governance, scalable compute and AI. Attendees will hear about DEFRA’s journey, learn valuable lessons about building a platform crossing organizational boundaries. |
