1 Smart Farming in the Cloud The rationale behind the SmartAgriFood & ICT-AGRI Call Creating innovation from ict-agri funded research projects Bonn, 17 th September 2014 Iver Thysen Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation ict-agri.eu Based on work by Krijn Poppe, Sjaak Wolfert & Cor Verdouw WAGENINGEN UR

2 In 2020 DATA-flows... are as important as Money and Material flows Thanks to the strong trends in ICT

3 Strong ICT Trends Satellite and (remote) sensing technology, geoinformatics Sensor technology, robotica in tractors and machines; computer vision; Bio-sensors and bio-informatics Internet of Things: everything gets an IP-address Cloud computing: service delivery via (broadband) infrastructures Smart phones and tablets with data in the cloud Social media (Facebook, Twitter, Wiki, etc.) Web of data, Linked Open Data, Big Data E-knowledge, E-science

6 Data exchange by ABCDEF s Large organisations mostly have gone digital, with ERP and other systems But between organisations (and especially with SME) data transfer and information exchange is often on paper While more data exchange to monitor business processes in the chain would be welcome There is a need for ABCDEF s: Agri-Business Collaboration and Data Exchange Facility FIspace is such a collaboration facility, built in the FI-PPP

7 Envision that... Firms could find each other and connect like in social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Wordpress) Also to specify their workflow / contracts in a conversation. Firms then could start to stream data between each other like you upload a photo or video on Google+ to one of your circles Linked Open Data: invoices, Internet of Things sensor data Making a choice in using standards like EDI, XBRL etc. Although compared to Facebook firms might like to have more control on access to their data (possible with web services and access rights), and do not need storage of their data Firms could buy apps (that work with the data streams and enrich such open (and big) data to provide advice) THAT IS WHAT FIspace WILL DELIVER

14 Impact of ABCDEF s on the food chain International market for platforms and apps; replace the current Farm Management Information Systems Also a market for data? New types of contracts: e.g. service level agreements on machine use End-to-end tracking and tracing Virtualisation of food chains Emergence of direct farmer-consumer markets supported by ICT. More data analysis, more sustainable production

15 How more data contributes to current business models Input industries Software Provider Transport Logistics Farmer solution Food processor Retail / consumer providers Transport Transport GRIN Small Cost price Service cope with retail loyalty Feed the growing world Sustainability Food Safety Health Sophisticated Technology, More advise Precision Farming: better control Better management decision Segment products and input suppliers; Benchmark with competitors Better service concepts, e.g. in store replenishment Consumer decision support (pre- and after sales)
