12. 1. Farmers: better advise, better management, nutrient and pesticide reduction,
better harvest result, less logistic costs, higher quality etc.
2. Farm-Advisors: tools suport advise, better management of farmers, higher ROI
at customers = more benefits = better income + motivation
3. Ministry: just in time and precise statistical data, precise subsidy mgmt.
better control, use farmers for environment- & natural risk-management
4. Bank: Businessplans for (micro-)finance, better customer understanding
5. Insurance: easy link to insurance policy sales, many farmers linked, data
available for micro-insurance, better ROI due to better information
6. Telecoms: providing infrastructure = more traffic in rural areas due to heavy IT
use, start for sms-based payment, flat rate for logistic services
7. Industry: (food, feed, wood) logistics increases quality, guarantees just in time
delivery, better information about customers, statistical data for optimisation

26. According SwisssRE: Prof. Dr.Dr. Peter HÖPPE
• Since 1980 large problems (storms/floods) increase: 400 to 1000 = X 2,5
• Worldtrend 1980:2010 = 60 : 150 Bio $
• Ceres/US: plus small: 380 Bio$/year
• World has 15 bio ha land-mass or 1,5 bio ha arable land = damage per hectare
• = $ 10,-- ($25) per ha per year on landmass or $ 100,-- ($250) on arable land
• versus technology costs of US$ 0,5 - once + 15-25%/year !!!
• Highest probability human influenced, high probability for more heat, drought,
extreme rains etc.
• Prevention is a must
• Agriculture can support, has to support and will support !!!!

• to fulfil a target
• Farmer does
• target control
• Achievements of
objectives
28. • Area covering risk warning system and risk reduction possible with farmers
• AMA data country covering (owner=farmer),
• Forest data via forest inventory (public or private)
• Bottom up crow data via farmers
• Soil maps country covering (2x in Austria: MoF and MoA)
• Weatherstation network possible to setup country covering – business model!!!
• Based on interzeption (covering by plants) and soil + humus data for
• a precise and actual runoff situation and warning system
• AGRO-business-models: integral performance for forest stocking and humus increase
• Carbon certificates from industry with local value creation (e.g. 45,-- €/t)
• Insurance premium: linked to humus increase or stock of wood increase
• 1% more humus: buffers 10mm rain, 50t CO2, stores 20-30 times his weight
• 1 m³ log: buffers avg. 0,92 t CO2, 20% increase on stocking in A = 150-200 Mio t
• More humus with compost, crop rotation, cover crops, winter crops
• Less humus with plowing, chemistry, monoculture, pesticides
• In future sensors for N,P,K and possibly humus available
• Labs with NIR technology can reduce costs 90%
• New business models with stakeholder cooperation will be supportive!
• Quantification and identification of risks possible – zoning possible - HORA
• Bettering with the above model possible

29. ELINOR OSTROM, COMMONS and INCLUSIVE ADVISE
Elinor Ostrom – Nobel-price for business science 2009
Codification of the common law was necessary:
–1. Trial: ABGB 1811 in Austria
- Liberation of the farmer since 1848/49
–2. Trial: Reichsgemeindegesetz 1862 (Community admin §§)
–3. Trial: provisorische Gemeindeordnungen (Commune law)
–4. Trial: Neuanlegung des Grundbuches 1871 (new groundbook)
- 1883: 㤤 partitioning of common ground and define use rights
- 1883 – 1925 general regulation and implementation
CARINTHIA (Southern region of Austria):
- 1885: 3013 Cooperatives in 230 Communities
- 1913: 2065 Cooperatives with 136.175 ha
- 2014: 1715 Cooperatives with 138.083 ha
According Ostrom we need:
- Precise defined borders
- Congruence between rules of acquisition and
- rules of allocation
- Local requirements
- Org-structures for collective decisions
- Control and penalty
- Conflict solving mechanism
- Minimum organization structure
- 12 Alpine Centres
- 5-6 x way-length
- 5-6 x water-pipes
- More fountains
- 5000m+ fences
CARINTHIA (Southern region of Austria):
- A cooperative acc. Austrian legislation is able to
manage commons acc. the rules of Elinor Ostrom!

SOLUTION
Z-GIS FOR THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT
32. • WinGIS gives detailed size of the fields/forest areas as base for exact calculation
• WinGIS gives an exact location of the field or forest area for later logistics use
• DokuPlant allows with underlaying expert data planning and documentation
• DokuPlant allows nutrient- and CO²-balance and is a subsidy tool if needed
• ForestOffice for forest inventory (plot or statistical model) on local growth tables
• DokuPlant and ForestOffice allow calculations (cost, contribution margin etc.)
• DokuPlant&Forest Office: access to traceability(§§), document sustainability(§§)
• Forest Office, DokuPlant and WinGIS allow setup of modern advisory services
• Logistic and mobGIS allow detailed logistic planning of complete regions
• Logistic and mobGIS serve farmers-foresters AND chain partners with mobCOM
• WinGIS integrates meteodata = better decisions: Precision Farming/Forestry
• WinGIS – Fertilizer, pesticide optimisation - Precision Farming
• DokuPlant/ForestOffice: businessplans for banks and infos for insurance comp.
• Machine interfaces (IsoBUS) allow further integration of Precision FF
• DokuPlant/ForestOffice for advisors allow statistical regional analysis

• Allover fights poverty, supports rural areas, reduces risks (rural areas & cities)
VALUABLE & SUSTAINABLE BENEFITS
33. ASSUMPTION
• Calculation, planning, documentation optimizes farm-forest-management - 10% costs
• Nutrient and CO2 balance and meteo integration lowers input costs - 10% costs
• and increase (quality-)growth +10%revenue
• Documentation and trust center opens new markets +10% revenue
• Logistics saves costs - 10% costs
• better advise saves costs and increases revenue - 10% costs
• +10% revenue
• Banks and insurance integration allow startup of business and saves risk neutral but nec.
• Precision farming / forestry and virtual farming allows cost reduction - 10% costs
• 1. ECONOMICAL BENEFITS ROI: 4% - 50% costs
+ 30% revenue
• (at assumed costs of €200,--/ha= -€100,-- and €300,--/ha revenue = +€100,-- = total +€200,--/ha)
• (investment at country licence of 0,3-2,5/avg.0,5 €/ha + local advisory costs)
• 2. ECOLOGICAL + RISK-MINIMIZED BENEFITS: 4% HIGH
• As most of the costs are linked to energy and CO²; reduction is equal to better CO² balance
as well as other environmental and risk targets to be reached give additional benefits.
• There is an environmental caretaking benefit of maybe much more then 80% change
• 3. INCREASED VALUE OF THE LAND BENEFIT: 6% 80% change
