• 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

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
