• information• communicatio

n• control

• ICT plays a crucial role

• farm is a focal company

ICT becomes a key driver for innovation

Location-based monitoring and service delivery through GPS

Internet of Things (IoT) – everything/everyone gets connected, M2M communication leading to autonomously communicating devices and virtualization of objects and processes

Data explosion (Big Data), linked open data and the potential of open innovation

Mobile, Cloud services and App stores – the Internet is everywhere (smart phones, embedded networked devices, etc.) with new possibilities for service delivery, augmented reality, etc.

Social media – more direct and instant interaction between stakeholders potentially leading to new market opportunities and channels, co-innovation, etc.

Main challenges for ICT and Agriculture

Small-scaled, regional and isolated software development

National or regional focus and cultural differences

Interoperability between various systems at farm level and in the supply chain network

Standardization of messages and reference process models

Handling large amounts of data from agricultural equipment

Smart Food Awareness

Elies Prunes Soler, Atoselies.prunes@atosresearch.eu

Tracking and Tracing and Meat Awareness (TTAM)

What needs to happen behind the scenes...

Smart Food Awareness

To satisfy needs of each consumer by providing transparent and tailored information about agri-food products.I am a Royal Gala

apple from south Spain, I was grown without pesticides following organic farming criteria, I

have been here for 1 day, my carbon

footprint is 1,2 kg CO2e.

I am a self-conscious

consumer that wants to now

where my food comes from and

how it is produced
