DAERA Launches Rural Data Hub

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has launched a Rural Data Hub aimed at strengthening data-driven decision-making in Northern Ireland. As DAERA launches a rural data platform with advanced mapping and dashboard tools, local authorities and policymakers will gain access to detailed information at small-area levels.

The hub consolidates various datasets, offering insight into rural life, land use, and infrastructure. Users can generate customizable dashboards for clearer analysis of community needs. This granular data access supports evidence-based planning and policy development within Northern Ireland’s rural regions.

According to DAERA, the tool enhances transparency and improves how rural development programs are managed. Stakeholders such as councils, researchers and community groups can explore local trends and identify specific regional challenges using the hub.

This initiative marks an important step as DAERA launches a rural data service tailored to evolving digital needs.
