• information• communicatio

• 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

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.

Roadmap for solutions: two parallel tracks

Organizational:• Business in the lead• Information Exchange &

Standardization

Technical:• Business process management • Service-oriented architecture

Based on the Future Internet

New Generation Information Systems

Coordination and support of setting up a network for

developing a system for common data exchange in the agricultural

sector

• Each logo/sign has several criteria that has to accomplish.

Smart Food Awareness: how?

• Product scanning (RFID, barcode ...)

• Image recognition (logos/signs)

• Consumer gets tailored information of the product and/or logo.

• Each product contains information gathered through all supply chain.

• Each consumer defines his/her shopping profile.

Snapshot of the prototype app

1. Create your consumer profile :a. As an anonymous consumerb. As a registered consumer

2. Scan a product in the supermarket:

a. A consumer can scan a QR code in order to request information of interest.

b. Or take a picture of a logo/sign on a product in order to know its meaning and criteria.

3. Get the attributes of the product according to consumer interests and preferences previously specified in his/her consumer profile.
