Nitrogen management and policies in agriculture of Africa, China and EuropeJan Peter Lesschen
This document summarizes a presentation on nitrogen management policies in agriculture in Africa, China, and Europe. It finds that while China and the EU have strongly supported their agricultural sectors through subsidies, infrastructure development, and price supports, policies in Africa have largely failed due to poor infrastructure and multiple constraints. The EU has also increasingly regulated nitrogen use and integrated environmental protection policies with agricultural support. Government policies play an important but debated role in global food security and markets. Coordinated international approaches may be needed to manage commodity supply issues.
The organic movement is taking interesting form in China. Here, we tell the story by exploring representations in media, business, and among consumers. Happy reading!

一个世纪以前,美国农业学家富兰克林·金就记载了中国的可持续农业实践,并赞扬了四千年来中国对耕地的成功管理和使用。在过去十年,澳大利亚和中国投入有机农业的用地比其他160个有有机农业数据报道的国家都多(澳大利亚新投入430万顷,中国新投入180万顷)。澳大利亚有机农业面积约占世界认证的有机农业总面积的三分之一。中国的“经济奇迹”是以对环境的巨大破坏为代价的,而发展有机农业可以为中国带来一个绿色的未来。不仅如此,消费者也需要安全的食品,他们也愿意为认证的有机食品付更多的钱。本文展示了有机领导力的几测量种方式,以及在有机方面巨大的发展机会。这些机会包括有机水产业,有机野外产业,有机森林产业,国内有机市场和人均有机消费量的增长,以及有机研究成果的发表。全球有机耕地面积占耕地总面积的0.86%,澳大利亚有机耕地面积占其耕地总面积的2.93%,中国有机耕地面积占其耕地总面积的0.36%,这对中国来说还有很大的发展空间。中国现在的环境亟需改善,而有机农业的推广可以成为修复中国环境以及提供健康食品的解决方法。
A century ago, China’s sustainable agricultural practices were documented and praised by US Professor of Agriculture, Franklin King, for the successful stewardship of agricultural land over four millennia. Over the past decade, Australia and China have converted more land to organic agriculture than any other of the 160 countries reporting organic agriculture statistics (for Australia, 4.3 m newly converted hectares, and for China, 1.8 m hectares). Australia accounts for about a third of the world’s certified organic agriculture hectares. China’s ‘economic miracle’ has been at the great cost of environmental degradation. There is a role for the development of organic agriculture in China to help achieve a clean green future. Added to this, consumers want safe food and they attribute a premium price to certified organic food. This paper presents a spectrum of indices of organics leadership and reveals great opportunities for growth in the organics sector. There are opportunities for the development of organic aquaculture, organic wildculture, organic forestry, for growing the domestic market and per capita organic consumption, and for publishing organics research. Organic accounts for 0.86% of global agricultural land, Australia’s agricultural land is 2.93% certified organic, and for China the figure is 0.36% which offers plenty of room for improvement. China’s prevailing levels of pollution call for massive remediation action, and the uptake of organic agriculture can be one component of the solution to restoring China’s environment to a healthy state and to providing safe food for consumers.
The document outlines the stages of rural development in China from the 1950s onward, beginning with land reform after 1949 and the establishment of mutual aid teams. This evolved into a system of elementary cooperatives, advanced cooperatives, and ultimately people's communes, which aimed to collectively undertake large-scale agricultural production and infrastructure projects. The people's communes system organized farmers into production teams, brigades, and communes led by elected committees. This reorganization of rural society and agriculture helped increase productivity to feed China's large population.
This document summarizes China's organic certification system. It outlines the key national standards, certification bodies, and import/export rules. The national standard GB/T 19630 covers production, processing, labeling, and management systems. Certification is provided by approved bodies and requires an annual inspection. Imports must be registered with AQSIQ and are subject to inspection and tariffs. Products must be labeled with the certification body code, year, and random number.
The document contains descriptions of various food chains submitted by students. Each food chain lists producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers in an ecosystem. Producers include plants like grass, algae, seaweed, and corn. Primary consumers eat the producers and include animals like rabbits, deer, fish, and caterpillars. Secondary consumers that eat the primary consumers include animals such as snakes, hawks, sharks, and coyotes. Tertiary consumers, at the top of the food chain, prey on the secondary consumers and include examples like bears, eagles, orcas, and lions.
China has experienced strong GDP growth averaging over 10% annually in recent years. It has a large labor force with over 800 million people, though agriculture still employs around 40% of workers. Foreign investment in China comes primarily from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and other Asian nations. The government's 12th Five Year Plan aims to develop 7 strategic industries like renewable energy and improve quality of life. It also wants to boost domestic consumption and shift manufacturing to higher value industries. The agricultural sector remains important and China is the world's top producer of many crops, though it faces issues like pollution, outdated distribution systems and lack of quality standards. Food retail is growing rapidly through various store formats including hypermarkets, convenience stores and farmers markets. Live
This document summarizes the history and development of agriculture in China. It notes that grain and cotton output significantly increased after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Major reforms in the 1970s and 1980s dismantled communes and increased commodity production and exports. By 2006, annual per capita consumption of foods like milk, eggs, and meat had also risen. The document also outlines the role of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in crop research and development as well as issues around ensuring future food security for China's growing population.
The purpose of this webinar is to give an overview as well as in-depth detail and links to important food regulations on ORGANIC CERTIFICATION in China, US, and EU. This webinar explains what “organic” is and is not, organic laws in China, US, and EU, how to get certified, and what “mutual recognition” for organic means when an agreement is in place between countries. Similarities and differences among China, US, and EU organic food schemes and certification requirements are also highlighted.
The document discusses current exploration of vertical farming and urban agriculture in China. It first introduces the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and its Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture (IEDA), which conduct research on protected agriculture. It then explains the need to develop vertical farming and urban agriculture in China due to challenges like population growth, limited arable land, and aging farm labor. The document outlines early exploration of vertical farming technologies in China, including the development of plant factories and research on key technologies. It provides examples of research optimizing LED lights and developing energy efficient cooling and lighting systems for indoor vertical farms.
Vertical Farming Team aims to address future food scarcity by pioneering vertical farming techniques. Vertical farming involves cultivating plants on buildings and skyscrapers using green technologies like wind turbines, grow lights, and controlled environment agriculture. It would create jobs, increase crop production, conserve land, and make cities more self-sufficient. The team's dream is to establish vertical farms that utilize renewable energy while collaborating with engineers, biochemists, and following all laws and regulations. Universities should offer education in these fields to train future vertical farmers and create awareness through seminars, conferences, and youth programs.

DATA-FAIR - value creation by data sharing in agri-food businessSjaak Wolfert
The digitization of society makes data more important. This is enhanced by the Internet of Things (IoT) in which a variety of devices, sensors and the like are connected via the Internet together and deliver real-time data.
Many companies see data as the way to generate new business, also in the agri-food sector. However, the added value is only created when multiple data sources are combined, aggregated and analyzed. The sharing of data between companies in the chain is therefore a critical success factor.
Although several initiatives to share data have been initiated, this development seems to be stagnating. Now the agribusinesses are mainly developing their own proprietary platforms, resulting in a maze of platforms which makes it technically difficult to exchange data between different systems and devices. This causes rather more administrative burdens than they reduce.
Exchange of data between platforms and applications is currently inhibited because of discussions about ownership of data, privacy, fear of concentration of power in the chain and the lack of clear business models where added value of data sharing is distributed among the various stakeholders. Now it seems that the benefit to the primary producers - the farmers - is minimal and the agri-business seems to benefit most. This creates resistance to sharing data that inhibits innovations that ultimately serve the interests of the farmer and the competitiveness of the whole agri-food sector.
DATA-FAIR breaks this deadlock and will accelerate innovation by hosting several large-scale trials with companies and Wageningen Research in which applications are developed where data between various platforms is shared and value is created.
In these trials, the farmer plays a central role as a main supplier and manager of data. He or she determines who may use which data and under what conditions. Digital permissions will play an important role enabled by a central register (e.g. AgriTrust). Also, special attention is paid to the development of attractive and transparent business models and good organizational embedding (governance) so that the results will continue to exist after the project.
DATA-FAIR doesn’t create a new platform itself, but uses existing building blocks and will help improving these if necessary. Here one can think of open application interfaces (APIs) and standards to link platforms and databases. DATA-FAIR builds on experiences with existing data hubs such as EDI-Circle and AgriPlace.

The Internet of Things for Food - An integrated socio-economic and technologi...Sjaak Wolfert
The document discusses the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for food and agriculture. It outlines four key areas where digital transformation is occurring: cloud computing, big data, analytics, and IoT. An integrated socio-economic and technological approach is needed to address issues like food integrity, decision making, public policy, and science. Case studies are presented on using IoT tools to optimize sustainable wine production and measure sustainability metrics like water and pesticide use per bottle. Developing data-driven innovation ecosystems requires addressing technical, organizational, business modeling, and governance challenges.
The outline of this presentation consists of three parts. First, I will describe the trends and developments concerning the digital transformation of the agri-food sector. This will conclude with the definition of the innovation challenge for digital innovation in this sector. Then I will introduce an integrated innovation approach to address this challenge. Finally, I will use a real-life example from pig production to illustrate how this approach works in practice. Finally, I will end up with some conclusions.
I showed how the digital transformation of the agri-food sector is taking place and that there is a clear potential for sustainable food systems. Through the digital transformation a lot of data is produced which can be used for multiple purposes. You have learned that digital innovation is not only about technology, but that technical and organizational issues should be addressed, at the same time. Therefore, digital innovation should take place in a real-life context by use case projects, following a multi-disciplinary, collaborative, agile approach.
If you are interested in more details about the Pig Farm Management, contact Jarissa Maselyne from ILVO. I encourage you to join the SmartAgriHubs community by registering in the Innovation Portal and you can also come to the final event in Lisbon within a few weeks. Hundreds of stakeholders and more than 20 partner projects are coming together to share experiences on Digital Innovation in the Agri-Food sector.

APPLICATION OF BIG DATA IN ENHANCING EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKING IN AGRICULTURA...Sjaak Wolfert
The agriculture production system increasingly becomes data-driven and data-enabled based on the cyber-physical management cycle. This paper describes several IoT-applications of the EU-funded IoF2020 project in which data and data-sharing plays a crucial role. It provides an integrative framework aiming at cross-fertilisation, co-creation and co-ownership of results. Technical integration, business support and ecosystem development are key mechanisms to realize this.
The SmartAgriHubs project enables a broad digital transformation of the European farming and food sector. With a €20 million budget co-funded by the European Union, the project aims to build an extensive pan-European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs). The project starts today on November 1st, 2018. This presentation describes the project's objective and method that is used to reach these objectives.
WUR-ICT supports agri-food businesses in implementing ICT solutions through analysis of challenges, design of solutions, and iterative development through pilots. Emerging technologies like IoT, big data, and AI present opportunities for innovation if governance and business models can address issues like privacy, ownership, and ecosystem coordination. The IOF2020 project aims to accelerate large-scale IoT adoption through integrating technologies, ensuring user acceptance, and developing sustainable solutions across Europe.
New technologies such as the Internet of Things and Cloud Computing are expected to leverage the current
trend of Smart Farming, introducing more sensors, robots and artificial intelligence, encompassed by the
phenomenon of Big Data.
This presentation will give a quick insight into the state-of-the-art of Big Data applications in Smart Farming
and identify the related challenges that have to be addressed. It shows that the scope of Big Data
applications in Smart Farming goes beyond the farm; it is influencing the entire food supply chain. Big data
are being used to provide predictive insights in farming operations, drive real-time operational decisions, and
redesign business processes for game-changing business models.
It is expected that Big Data will cause major shifts in roles and power relations among different players in
current food supply chain networks. The landscape of stakeholders exhibits an interesting game between
powerful tech companies, venture capitalists and often small startups and new entrants. At the same time
there are several public institutions that publish open data, under the condition that the privacy of persons
must be guaranteed. The future of Smart Farming may unravel in a continuum of two extreme scenarios: 1)
closed, proprietary systems or 2) open, collaborative systems.
The development of data and application infrastructures (platforms and standards) and their institutional
embedment will play a crucial role in the battle between these scenarios. A major challenge is therefore to
cope with governance issues and define suitable business models for data sharing in different supply chain
scenarios.
Guidelines for governance of data sharing in agri foodSjaak Wolfert
Big Data is becoming a new asset in the agri-food sector including enterprise data from operational systems, sensor data, farm equipment data, etc. Recently, Big Data applications are being implemented to improve farm and chain performance in agri-food networks. Still, many companies are refraining from sharing data because of fear of governance issues such as data insecurity, or lack of privacy or liability, among others. To overcome such barriers for developments with Big Data, this paper aims at: 1) analysing governance issues in agri-food networks, and 2) introducing a set of guidelines for data-sharing. Based on a literature review, a framework for analysing agri-food networks was developed, with internal governance factors (efficiency, effectiveness, inclusiveness, legitimacy & accountability, credibility and transparency) and external governance factors (political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors). The framework contributes to development of a set of draft guidelines. Accordingly, for each factor, the guidelines address issues, best practices and lessons learned from other projects and initiatives. The approach developed in this paper creates a baseline for possible future developments of Big data in terms of 1) upscaling of the guidelines at a global level, 2) refining and fine-tuning of the guidelines for context specific agri-food networks, and 3) contributing to solving governance challenges in data sharing. In the future, the relevance of Big Data in the agri-food domain is expected to increase, and so are the contributions of this approach.
Fostering Business and Software Ecosystems for large-scale Uptake of IoT in F...Sjaak Wolfert
The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to be a real game changer that will drastically improve productivity and sustainability in food and farming. However, current IoT applications in this domain are still fragmentary and mainly used by a small group of early adopters. The Internet of Food and Farm 2020 Large-Scale Pilot (IoF2020) addresses the organizational and technological challenges to overcome this situation by fostering a large-scale uptake of IoT in the European food and farming domain. The heart of the project is formed by a balanced set of multi-actor trials that reflect the diversity of the food and farming domain. Each trial is composed of well-delineated use cases developing IoT solutions for the most relevant challenges of the concerned subsector. The project conducts 5 trials with a total of 19 use cases in arable, dairy, fruits, vegetables and meat production. IoF2020 embraces a lean multi-actor approach that combines the development of Minimal Viable Products (MVPs) in short iterations with the active involvement of various stakeholders. The architectural approach supports interoperability of multiple use case systems and reuse of IoT components across them. Use cases are also supported in developing business and solving governance issues. The IoF2020 ecosystem and collaboration space is established to boost the uptake of IoT in Food and Farming and pave the way for new innovations.
Keynote IoT in Agriculture opening academic year CIHEAM ZaragozaSjaak Wolfert
Keynote presentation for the opening of the academic year at CIHEAM institute for Mediterranean agricultural research in Zaragoza. It is about how IoT and Big Data are transforming Agriculture in Europe and what the main challenges are: governance, business models and open infrastructures. This is illustrated from several use cases in the Internet of Food and Farm 2020 (IoF2020) project.
Entrepreneurs active in the agricultural sector spend more and more of their time registering and publishing all kinds of data, as the government, certification bodies, banks, clients, the retail sector and consumers all want to have more insight into how safe and sustainable their food is.
The majority of this agriculture-related data is still paper-based, spread over different systems and difficult to exchange between the people who want to access it. This is why digitising agricultural business data is an important item on the agenda. With FarmDigital, we can respond to these developments.
FarmDigital is an action research programme which is currently working towards a situation in which data only needs to be entered once and can be shared easily. It aims to achieve this goal by standardising data and developing and implementing an independent, digital platform for people to use.

These sectors together have a huge potential impact on the European economy and society.EU turnover: 1,500 billion €Efficiency: 148-220 billion € savingsSustainability: 26.5% of CO2 emissionsHere you see a picture of the business network we are dealing with (farmers, carriers, retail, customs, etc.)They are challenged by all kind of ICT-related developments, such as:High-quality customer applications, end2end visibility, M2M communication, etc.But there are currently still quite some bottlenecks to be solved, such as:Interoperability between current inter-enterprise information systems (still use of paper, fax, phone, etc.)Tracking and tracing possibilities are still limited (especially e.g. if you want to know what happened to your food between production and consumption)Especially for SMEs, software is relatively expensive, while the need for flexible, customized solutions has increasedThese bottlenecks are the reason for current limited and rather fixed business collaboration networks, hampering innovation in generalThrough conceptual prototypes in phase 1 we have made it plausible that FI will significantly contribute to overcoming these bottlenecks by facilitating:...seamless cross-organizational collaboration…unprecedented transparency, visibility and control of processes…rapid, easy, low cost development and deployment of customized solutions…agile formation of business networks and ecosystems
- Main challenge for future internet logistics is to enable the agri-food industry to deal with the high dynamics and complexity - We have distinguished 3 critical features to do so123- In order to define more specific requirements, the WP300 team has defined and analysed application scenarios- Such scenario’s describe specific functionalities within Smart Agri-Logistics
