Scaling up (and doing business with) food safety information transparency
Nikos Manouselis, CEO [email protected]
intro
We find, connect and deliver agriculture and food information worldwide
what we do
• We Lead: the development of a global, open, shared data infrastructure for agriculture and food
• We Support: public sector and international organisations to make their information discoverable and usable
• We Make: innovative online applications and services
indicative partners & clients• Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)• Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR)• International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)• CABI• UK’s Dept for International Development (DFID)• World Bank• Michigan State University (MSU)• Wageningen University & Research (WUR)• French Institute of Agricultural Research (INRA)• International Centre for Research in Organic Food Systems
(ICROFS)
open data advocates & business• CIARD.net: a global movement dedicated to open
agricultural knowledge
• Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN): make agricultural and nutritionally relevant data available, accessible, and usable for unrestricted use worldwide
• Open Data Institute member (UK HQs & Athens node)
large scale data-related projects• agINFRA: a data infrastructure to support agricultural scientific
communities (2011 - 2015)– 12 partners (incl. FAO, OU); tech coordinator, evaluation, sustainability– in G8 Open Data in Agriculture Action Plan for Europe
• SemaGrow: Data intensive techniques to boost the real-time performance of global agricultural data infrastructures (2012 - 2015)– 8 partners (incl. FAO, WUR); tech, evaluation, sustainability– in G8 Open Data in Agriculture Action Plan for Europe
• OpenMinTeD: Open Mining INfrastructure for TExt and Data (2015- 2018)– 15 partners (incl. UoA, EBI, INRA); tech+data, requirements & evaluation
• Big Data Europe: Integrating Big Data, Software and Communities for Addressing Europe’s Societal Challenges (2015-2018)– 12 partners (incl. FAO); agri-food community & use cases
We lead• a data management & sharing infrastructure for agriculture & food
a) a global atlas of agricultural research (including institutions, people, publications, data sets, projects, courses, instruments, tools)
b) a semantic layer of processing, enriching & interlinking research information from distributed, heterogeneous sources & formats
c) a catalogue of software components (open source software stack & APIs) that anyone may use to process research information
d) a help desk service to support institutions & projects that wish to publish their research information openly
e) a set of data-rich service and application demonstrators for specific case studies (food safety, viticulture, …)

doing business with open food data
“new businesses and new business models are beginning to emerge: Suppliers, aggregators, developers, enrichers and enablers”“key link in the value chain for open data is the consumer…direct relevance to the choices individuals make as part of their day-to-day lives”
