New Business Models based on Big Data
See: Arent van 't Spijker: "The New Oil - using innovative business models to turn data into profit“, 2014
 Basic data sales
● commercial equivalent of open data (e.g. FarmMobile)
 Product innovation
● use data to improve your product (machinery industry, e.g. John
Deere, Lely’s milking robots)
 Commodity swap
● data for data (e.g. between farmers and (food) processors to
increase service component)
 Value chain integration
● use data to control the whole chain (e.g. Monsanto’s Fieldscript)
 Value net creation
● pool data from the same consumer (e.g. AgriPlace)

Conclusions
 Agri-Food chains become more technology/data-driven
● Can cause major shifts in roles and power relations among
different players in agri-food chain networks
● Infrastructure and software development are key issues
 Significant socio-economic impacts; two scenarios:
1. Strong integrated supply chain
• farmer becomes franchiser/contractor
• limited freedom in doing business
2. Open collaboration network
• Farmer empowered through easier switch
between suppliers
• Options for direct sales to consumers
Reality somewhere in between?

Editor's Notes

  • #6 SW: through smart production (farming) and logistics food ends at the consumers plate Smart tracking and tracing is necessary to provide the right information about the product (contents, freshness, etc.) This information can be related to other (IoT) domains such as: Domotics (recipes, shopping, etc.) Health (allergies, obesitas, etc.) Fitness/Well-being (calorie-metering, healthy ingredients, etc.)
  • #7 Note that for most of these
  • #10 Current Farm management systems are not capable to do what is suggested in the picture. Therefore we have developed FIspace!
  • #11 Battlefield! Farming cooperatives, alliances - covenants
