Editor's Notes

#3 Godan exists to respond to particular challenges and foster innovations to meet them
#4 For the first time in human history, the knowledge to end hunger exists on Earth Experts tell us that we currently produce enough food on planet Earth to adequately feed the world population. Yet, nearly 800 million people struggle with debilitating hunger and malnutrition in every corner of the globe, one in every nine people, with the majority being women and children. Global populations are set to increase to 9-10 billion by 2050. We need to find solutions beyond MORE food. Nutritionally sensitive agriculture is essential for global public health and wellbeing We are convinced that the solution to closing an unacceptable hunger gap lies within harnessing & opening agriculture and nutrition data
#5 Beyond absolute hunger, agriculture can be a means for smallholder farmers to develop economically by selling more of their produce, but farmers face barriers, including lack of information about Plant pests and diseases – new outbreaks, spread of diseases and invasive species Market data – prices, demand , Regulations can restrict their ability to trade Weather – determines when to plant, harvest, etc
#6 Beyond absolute hunger, agriculture can be a means for smallholder farmers to develop Lack of data or access to that data can stifle innovation Restricted information may be in geographic or thematic silos Restricted and closed data keeps data in the hands of the powerful – reducing the world’s ability to innovate
#7 What is open data?
#8 What role does GODAN have? GODAN supports the proactive sharing of open data to make information about agriculture and nutrition available, accessible and usable to deal with the urgent challenge of ensuring world food security. It is a rapidly growing group, currently with over 260 partners from national governments, non-governmental, international and private sector organisations that have committed to a joint Statement of Purpose. The initiative focuses on building high-level support among governments, policymakers, international organizations and business. GODAN promotes collaboration to harness the growing volume of data generated by new technologies to solve long-standing problems and to benefit farmers and the health of consumers. We encourage collaboration and cooperation between stakeholders in the sector. When did this initiative launch? At the 2012 G-8 Summit, G-8 leaders committed to the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, the next phase of a shared commitment to achieving global food security. As part of this commitment, they agreed to “share relevant agricultural data available from G-8 countries with African partners and convene an international conference on Open Data for Agriculture, to develop options for the establishment of a global platform to make reliable agricultural and related information available to African farmers, researchers and policymakers, taking into account existing agricultural data systems.” In April 2013, the commitment to convene an international conference on Open Data for Agriculture was fulfilled when the G8 International Conference on Open Data for Agriculture took place. This conference worked to ‘obtain commitment and action from nations and relevant stakeholders to promote policies and invest in projects that open access to publicly funded global agriculturally relevant data streams, making such data readily accessible to users in Africa and world-wide, and ultimately supporting a sustainable increase in food security in developed and developing countries. The GODAN initiative was a by-product of this conference and was announced at the Open Government Partnership Conference in October 2013.
#9 Which organizations can join GODAN? Any organization that supports open access to agriculture and nutrition data. Our partners include government, donors, international and not-for-profit organizations and businesses. How do I learn more?: Contact us to find out more about how your organization can get involved in this growing network enquiries@godan.info or fill in the online form What does it mean to be a partner?
#11 GODAN partners support the shared principles based on GODAN’s Statement of Purpose Agricultural and nutritional data to be available, accessible, usable and unrestricted Partners aim to build high level policy and private sector support for open data Encourage collaboration and cooperation across existing agriculture, nutrition and open data activities and stakeholders to solve long-standing global problems GODAN partners commit to: Host regular conversations with our peer multilateral and local organisations to identify and share best practices and determine how to more effectively share data and provide useable analysis for local application Recruit new partners to GODAN The GODAN Secretariat GODAN is supported by a small secretariat hosted by CABI in Wallingford, UK. You can contact the Secretariat team at – enquiries@godan.info GODAN activities and its Secretariat are financially supported by the US Government, the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the Government of the Netherlands, FAO, Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), GFAR, The Open Data Institute (ODI), the CGIAR and CABI. A full details of how GODAN Secretariat if funded and how funding is used can be found here.
#16 To explain and advocate for open data we need to illustrate how open data is making a difference through stories and case studies that our partners can use when making a case. These are collected in publications, and increasingly on our website in text, and soon as videos.
#17 GROENMONITOR Farm productivity is often hit by crop damage caused by pests. Mice and other pests are difficult to detect on large farms through manual inspection alone. The GroenMonitor (GreenMonitor) is a tool that shows a current vegetation map of the Netherlands, based on satellite images and maps made publicly available by the Dutch Government in the interim waiting for the full release of the Copernicus Sentinel data from the European Space Agency (ESA). Groenmonitor showed that the NDVI data can be used to identify pest outbreaks such as the extreme explosion of the mice population in Friesland. Detection of the scale of the problem has helped to mitigate relatively quickly. In 2014, the GroenMonitor helped to identify 12,000 hectares (29,652 acres) of fields affected by mice. The tool is now being exploited for various other applications, including plant phenology, crop identification and yield (standing biomass through NDVI), identification of agricultural activities (e.g. mowing, ploughing and harvesting), nature and water management. ___________________________________________________________________
#18 COPERNICUS SENTINEL Copernicus is the most ambitious Earth observation programme to date. It will provide accurate, timely and easily accessible information to improve the management of the environment, understand and mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure civil security. Copernicus is the new name for the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security programme, previously known as GMES. This initiative is headed by the European Commission (EC) in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). ESA coordinates the delivery of data from upwards of 30 satellites. The EC, acting on behalf of the European Union, is responsible for the overall initiative, setting requirements and managing the services. Sentinel-1 radar visionESA is developing a new family of satellites, called Sentinels, specifically for the operational needs of the Copernicus programme. The Sentinels will provide a unique set of observations, starting with the all-weather, day and night radar images from Sentinel-1A, launched in April 2014. Sentinel-2, launched on 23 June 2015, is designed to deliver high-resolution optical images for land services and Sentinel-3 will provide data for services relevant to the ocean and land. Sentinel-4 and -5 will provide data for atmospheric composition monitoring from geostationary and polar orbits, respectively. Sentinel-6 will carry a radar altimeter to measure global sea-surface height, primarily for operational oceanography and for climate studies. In addition, a Sentinel-5 Precursor mission is being developed to reduce data gaps between Envisat, in particular the Sciamachy instrument, and the launch of Sentinel-5. The Space Component is managed by ESA and serves users with satellite data available through the Sentinels and the Copernicus Contributing Missions at national, European and international levels.The ground segment, facilitating access to Sentinel and Contributing Mission data, completes the Copernicus Space Component. The Space Component forms the European contribution to the worldwide Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).Copernicus provides a unified system through which vast amounts of data are fed into a range of thematic information services designed to benefit the environment, the way we live, humanitarian needs and support effective policy-making for a more sustainable future.These services fall into six main categories: land management, the marine environment, atmosphere, emergency response, security and climate change.In essence, Copernicus will help shape the future of our planet for the benefit of all. ESA is contributing by providing a proven framework for the development of operational systems on behalf of the user community, paving the way for investment in future generation systems. ESA is exploiting its 30 years of expertise in space programme development and management to contribute to the success of Copernicus. _____________________________________________________________
#19 IBLI To protect livestock keepers from drought related asset losses insurance is a good coping and adaptation strategy. Satellite based information on crop status (NDVI) is used to assess the availability of fodder crops in dry areas of Eastern Africa for livestock farmers. This data is combined with livestock mortality data from the Kenya Arid Lands Management project to predict livestock deaths against which livestock herders can insure themselves. This livestock insurance service is initiated by a consortium of public, private and non-profit partners. The consortium pursued a comprehensive research agenda aimed at designing, developing and implementing market mediated index-based insurance.
#20 The Precision Agriculture Working Group is comprised of GODAN members from over 40 organisations in the public and private sector who have volunteered to participate in in this working group to prepare deliverables for a forthcoming event in September, the GODAN Summit. Through the Precision Agriculture Working Group, we will be working to identify deliverables for the GODAN Summit which could come in multiple forms, including: identifying data sets that could be opened or converted to machine-readable format in time for release during the Summit; and big data visualizations within precision agriculture that demonstrate the importance of open-access data sets. Additionally, the GODAN Summit will be an opportunity to highlight policies that organizations have developed to support the formation of open-access data resources. Successful policies will serve as "proofs of concept" during meetings with high-level policy makers, and support our efforts to advocate for open-access data resources. If you want to get involved please talk to GRACE staff who can bring you in. Some of these other groups represent opportunities for some of you – we have commissioned research around some of these groups and will be doing more as we continue. Around the Godan Summit in September we are also putting out a Challenge call for concept notes shortly – hopefully this week, and I hope to tell you more about that in a short slot this afternoon.
#21 Bristol, UK Run by GODAN partner Open Data Aha!
#22 Recent, future events of GODAN in 2016 – Examples: GCARD – (Third) Global Conference on Agricultural Research and Development  the final global event concluding a two-year consultation process based on national and regional stakeholder consultations designed to help shape the strategy and future direction of international agriculture research and innovation ICT4D – Information and Communication Technology for Development  Nairobi, Kenya
#23 In September 2016, on the margins of the UN General Assembly meeting, GODAN partners will host a Summit to advance the agenda for open data in agriculture and nutrition.
#25 A two track challenge: The GODAN Open Data Challenge will provide for a two track competition process. Track 1 will be for innovative concepts that define key policy obstacles to open data use and dissemination, and provide innovative solutions to address them. Submissions for the Track 1 challenge will be in the form of a concept paper not to exceed 500 words. At least one member of the team must register no later than June 30, 2016 and the entry must be submitted no later than July 31, 2016 for an initial review by the Open Data Challenge Judging Committee. It is encouraged to have multi-disciplined team to be able to best identify both the obstacle to open data as well as solutions. Individuals/teams whose paper will be selected at this stage will then be invited to provide their final submission no later than August 31 for final selection. During this two- month period selected competing teams will receive up to 50 hours of professional expertise and mentoring to help them in the final preparation of their submissions. This final paper should consist of an up-to 7,000-word white paper that provide both policy analysis and solutions that can realistically be implemented. As an alternative to this exhaustive paper, the team may choose to present a shorter paper complemented by some innovative presentation for example a video, a simulation, etc. The 5 best finalists will then be invited to present their final paper/presentation to the Committee, who will select the three best submissions. In turn, these three finalists will be invited to showcase their initiative during the GODAN Summit in September 2016. Selection Criteria for Track 1  Impact: The obstacle defined must be shown to have widespread and significant impact  Innovation: The solution to remove the impact must involve a new concept for accessing, sharing or using data that has not been used before  Realistic: The submission must show evidence that the solution is affordable, achievable and realistic. Track 1 winners will receive the following monetary reward: First prize: $15,000 Second prize: $10,000 Third prize: $5,000 In addition, the winners will have the option to see the winning paper professionally edited and published, and will receive funding for travel and lodging to present at a research workshop in the days prior to the GODAN Summit. The selected authors will be invited to present their papers to an audience of senior management, policy makers, researchers, and practitioners. This is a unique opportunity to have your work published after a review by top level decision-makers. While GODAN will seek authors’ permission to distribute the papers submitted for consideration in this Open Data Challenge, GODAN strongly encourages authors to also submit their papers to peer-review journals for broader distribution.
#26 Track 2 will be for the design and development of an application that makes the best use of available open data in the fields of agriculture and/or nutrition. Eligible Platforms:  Smartphone or tablet (iOS, Android, Blackberry, Kindle, Windows 8 Mobile)  Web (mobile or desktop)  Desktop (Windows PC, Mac Desktop)  Software running on other publicly available hardware (including, but not exclusive to, wearable technology, open source hardware, etc.) Competing teams will be invited to register no later than May 15 (tbc) and submit their project to the Selection Committee no later than July 1 2016 for initial review. Selected teams will then be invited to advance their projects for final submission by August 31. During this two month period semi-finalist teams will have access to 50 hours of mentoring expertise to help them in the final preparation of their submissions. The five finalists will subsequently be invited to present their application to the Committee, who will select and rank three winning teams in order of merit. Please note that at this final stage, static data visualizations will not be eligible. Final applications must include interactive functionality (e.g. the user can change parameters to update the visualization and/or result). The selection criteria for Track 2: ● Innovation– Creativity and originality of the idea: significant improvements to existing solutions or entirely new ideas to the sector ● Potential impact – how the innovation relates to the challenge question and its likely positive impact in agriculture and/or nutrition ● Open data – use at least one source of open data at the heart of the proposition ● Feasibility - The innovation’s likelihood to be realized and scaled  Clarity and Accuracy of Solution - Includes the completeness of the documentation and the accuracy of the data usage. The challenge offers both tracks a combination of funding and expertise designed to encourage and facilitate the development, dissemination and implementation of the winning innovation. Three winners will be chosen in each category: Track 2 winners will receive the following monetary reward: First prize: $25,000 and 100 hours of professional engineering/consulting Second prize: $15,000 and 50 hours of professional engineering/consulting Third prize: $5,000 and 25 hours of professional engineering/consulting Winners will have the option to use their professional support allocation either for technical/engineering expertise, and/or marketing/design. The purpose of the above is to facilitate the professional development of the winning applications and their potential introduction to the market.
