Reducing stunting globally by 40% would cost an additional $8.50 per child under 5 annually, totaling $42 billion. A package of interventions like improving nutrition for pregnant women, supplementation, breastfeeding promotion, and complementary feeding could achieve this target. Additional financing is needed for 37 high burden countries over 10 years, as current approaches will not meet resource needs. "Global Solidarity" generating resources from all countries proportionate to their means could fund reaching the stunting reduction goal.
This document discusses defining and measuring agricultural sustainability. It begins by asking questions about what sustainability means and who should ensure it. Sustainability is then defined as meeting present needs without compromising the future according to the Bruntland Commission. Metrics and indicators are discussed as ways to measure sustainability across economic, environmental and social dimensions. The document suggests using quantitative scoring systems and impact assessments to evaluate performance in these different domains over time. The goal is to develop standards that are science-based, transparent and instructive for producers and consumers.

Data mining to combine sensor information to improve oestrus detectionClaudia Kamphuis
The document discusses a project aiming to improve automated heat detection in dairy cows by combining sensor data. Researchers collected sensor data from two farms, including activity, rumination, feeding and yield data. They developed predictive models using this combined sensor data and found the models improved heat detection sensitivity over using single sensors. The models are now running near real-time on one farm and the researchers plan to fine-tune the models and scale up testing to 200 farms in the Netherlands to provide individual cows' insemination advice and timing.

Automatic Estrus Detection System for Dairy Animalsidescitation
This paper deals with the new aid for detection of
Estrus (Heat) in dairy animals. As dairy Technology is
developing day by day, therefore reproductive performance of
dairy animals is major concern in dairy industry. This
Reproductive performance of dairy animals requires accurate
and regular Estrus detection. Estrus is nothing but a
behavioural symptom in mammals which indicate that female
is mated close to the ovulation. That’s why Timely detection
of estrus is the only solution to increase the fertility rate in
dairy animals. Failure to detect animal in estrus and breeding
animals which are not in estrus result in economic loss for
the owner because of extended calving interval and additional
semen expenses. Accurate Estrus detection gives idea about
proper timing of Artificial Insemination. So Estrus detection
is the key solution for effective growth in dairy technology.
During estrus period animal shows mounting behaviour,
increased physical activity and vaginal temperature of animal
is increased. So, in proposed technology, for the very first
time all these three signs are sensed by three sensors. The
signal from the sensors are given to the micro-controller, then
micro-controller process the data, display the data on LCD
screen as well as transfer all the data wirelessly to the Personal
computer (PC). PC runs a software module which display all
the data i.e. Animal name, number of mounting, physical
activity and vaginal temperature.

Jack Verhoosel | Semantics in Dairy Farming: towards a Common Dairy Ontologysemanticsconference
1) The document describes a project called Semantics for Big Data Applications in Smart Dairy Farming which aims to incorporate semantics and linked data approaches to integrate and analyze sensor and production data from Dutch dairy farms.
2) An InfoBroker platform was developed to share cow-centric sensor and static data from multiple sources using semantic techniques like an ontology and linked data patterns while keeping the raw data decentralized.
3) Performance tests were conducted loading the dairy farm data, converted to RDF triples, into different triplestores and databases to evaluate their ability to handle complex queries against large datasets.
As part of an ongoing collaboration on Climate-Smart Agriculture between UC Davis, Wageningen University, the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the California Air Resources Board, this webinar focused on the challenges and opportunities for dairy farming as it relates to a changing climate.

Final Year project- Value of milk recordingBryan Kingston
This document outlines a plan to survey dairy farmers about their use of milk recording. The objectives are to understand the reasons why some farmers do and do not milk record, and to compare those that do to those that don't. Milk recording provides individual cow performance data on fat and protein content, milk yield, SCC, and other measures. The surveys will ask 10 questions to non-milk recording and milk recording farmers to identify barriers and benefits to milk recording. The goal is to increase participation by addressing issues like cost and hassle factors.
This document outlines new dimensions and opportunities in agricultural knowledge management. It discusses areas such as farmer-focused ICT applications, mixed media platforms, internet of things and precision farming, open data initiatives, marketing information services, innovations by communities and farmers, agricultural education, libraries and documentation centers. For each area, it lists associated opportunities such as developing e-agriculture strategies, documenting models and best practices, building capacity, and promoting information sharing through workshops, training programs, and partnerships.

Sharing open data and capacity development experiences from RCMRDgodanSec
Earth observation data plays a critical role in building resilience to climate change as well as reporting on sustainable development goals (SDG’s). There are new opportunities to use open data in earth observation such as Landsat and the Sentinel data. Modern day farming relies on weather information in order to plan ahead of extreme weather conditions such as drought and floods. In addition, there is need to invest in hydromet services to build resilience to climate change and help citizens with accurate weather forecasts.
In this webinar, Dr Kenneth Mubea (the Capacity Development Lead) at the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) shares some of the experiences and projects that RCMRD are involved in various open data initiatives in Agriculture. RCMRD’s mission is to promote sustainable development using earth observation and thus SDG’s.

In this webinar, we look at how you obtain and use open data, the key role of search engines and how you establish rust in the data you find. The webinar will also look at the quality of data and how to clean and prepare data for analysis. Finally, the session will look at how you can quickly visualise cleaned data and the applications of this in the agriculture sector.
What is GODAN? Network, Action & SecretariatgodanSec
An introduction to the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative, its principles and what it does to advocate and develop capacity in the sector. The session will visit some definitions of open data.
Through examining the work of the network’s facilitation mechanism (the Secretariat), and its research and capacity building and research unit (GODAN Action) we will outline some of the experiences and challenges GODAN has had in communicating the value of open data in the sector.

Presentation for the Delivering from Data panel session at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)'s Going the Last Mile: Accelerating Progress in Food Security and Nutrition event
https://www.ifpri.org/event/going-last-mile-accelerating-progress-food-security-and-nutrition
Open agricultural and nutrition data can help address global hunger, poverty, and innovation challenges. GODAN is a global open data network with over 260 partners that encourages collaboration and sharing of open agricultural and nutrition data. The GODAN story began in 2012 with G8 commitments to share agricultural data with African partners. GODAN was officially launched in 2013 and holds various events to build momentum around open data. Working groups address specific data issues and case studies showcase successes. The 2016 GODAN Summit in New York will bring together leaders to highlight open data stories and applications through an open data challenge.
GODAN Presentation at 2016 Thought for Food SummitgodanSec
The document discusses challenges related to global food security such as rising populations, depleting fish stocks, fresh water shortages, land degradation, and climate change. It describes how open data has the potential to help address these problems through more effective governance, improved services, better targeted programs, and improved research. The Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative believes these challenges can be partially solved through better use of open data. GODAN convenes key actors, advocates for policies, and equips partners with tools and examples to empower open data sharing in agriculture.

Developing open data tools and portals: experiences of impact deliverygodanSec
IFPRI has developed open data tools and portals to improve the delivery of impact from open data in agriculture and nutrition. Their Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) program collects data on agricultural research investment and capacity in developing countries through institutional surveys. ASTI makes this data openly available online through interactive tools that allow users to compare indicators across countries, access detailed country profiles, and download datasets. These tools help ensure ASTI's findings better inform policymaking by facilitating access and analysis of indicators on topics like R&D spending, staffing, and research focus areas.

This document discusses how farmers have not fully utilized available data and how open data could potentially generate revenue. It suggests that while data portals exist, data is not yet readily accessible and useful to farmers on the ground. Making data more directly available to farmers may help them make better decisions and could open opportunities to profit from open agricultural data.

13. Unclear ownership of data delays
development of precision farming
Difficult to access and collect data.
Technically this can be solved quite
easily. But…
• Who owns the data?
• The farmer? Organisation who
collects the data for the farmer?
• When is ownership passed from
farmer to someone else?
• What is the value of data?
