The e-forum is an online event is a joint effort by the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR), the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to provide a forum for institutions and individuals to learn more about the Lyon Declaration, and to exchange ideas about how information centers and libraries can promote the adoption of access to information as part of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
This webinar will look how increased access to information can help achieve the United Nations’ new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It will explain how IFLA developed the Lyon Declaration on Access to Information to influence the SDGs, assess the resulting new post-2015 development framework to be endorsed by world leaders at the end of September in New York, and address the next steps that library and information professionals can take to ensure that we are included as partners in national sustainable development plans to reach goals and targets.

Final Workshop on “Strengthening of the Horticulture information Support Network for Small Farmers in Egypt” (HORTISUN) Project. Tuesday, 20 October 2015
Precision Farming (PF) is introduced and history in short is reviewed. Essential activities of GPS locating, soil mapping, GIS dataprocessing and presentation and VRT application are described. Basic principles of PF are shown to be:
• Precision Farming is the management process of within-field variability.
• This management must bring profit or at least reduce the risk of loss
• This management must reduce the impact of farming on environment.
Techniques used in Precision Farming are described. Economics of Precision Farming is discussed. A general cost/benefit analysis and profitability of PF are reviewed. The price of PF adoption facing a farmer is discussed. Methods of process analysis and activity based costing are shown as useful instruments for PF process analysis and model building. PF process is analysed and process graph is developed.

Ict for a sustainable agriculture – public support needs
1. ICT for a sustainable agriculture
– Public support needs
Karel Charvat
WirelessInfo, Club of Ossiach
2. 2www.foodie-project.eu
The agriculture sector is of strategic importance for both society and economy which,
ideally, should create a networks of interacting organizations.
Information sharing
Different groups of
stakeholders have to
manage many different
and heterogeneous
sources of information.
A combination and
management of
information is
needed -
- in order to plan
and make
economically and
environmentally
sound decisions
3. 3www.foodie-project.eu
Macro level, which includes
management of external
information (for example
about market, subsidies
system, weather prediction,
global market and
traceability systems);
Farm level, which includes
for example economical
systems, crop rotation,
decision supporting system;
Field (micro) level including
precision farming, collection
of information about
traceability and in the future
also robotics.
Knowledge management
Knowledge management on the agriculture domain is usually divided into three
interrelated levels:
4. What is the Club of Ossiach?
• The Club of Ossiach is a voluntary group of agriculturists,
agribusiness managers, agriculture and forestry technologists,
environmentalists and agricultural ICT specialists from around the
world to collectively discuss and collaboratively act on influencing the
use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to
improve agricultural productivity, profitability and contribution to
food and nutritional security and safety globally.
5. Why is it called the Club of Ossiach?
• It is called the Club of Ossiach as it met for the first time in the
picturesque village of Ossiach, which is near Villach/Klagenfurt in
Austria.
6. Why the Club of Ossiach?
• For ICTs to improve agricultural productivity, profitability and
contribution to food and nutritional security and safety globally there
will be a need for collaboration between the public, private and
community sectors. The public sector provides the policies,
Institutions and supports basic research, the private sector brings
entrepreneurial skills and provides services and together with the
community sector brings innovation that needs to be shared rapidly
for development and progress.
7. Why the Club of Ossiach?
• The Club of Ossiach offers a platform for interaction and dialogue for
representatives of all the 3 sectors, public, private and community
which includes the cooperatives and producer organizations to
improve agricultural productivity, profitability and contribution to
food and nutritional security and safety globally.
8. Why the Club of Ossiach?
• The Club of Ossiach was initiated as a platform for interaction and
dialogue of representatives largely from Europe but aims to be global.
It is a unique platform that focuses on ICTs use in agriculture viewed
holistically as a component of the environment along with forestry,
fisheries and livestock farming.
9. What does the Club of Ossiach do?
• They meet periodically at Ossiach (or any other place decided by the
group through consensus) to collectively discuss such as through its
annual Conference, Agrifuture Days, and collaboratively act on
influencing the use of information and communications technologies
(ICTs) to improve agricultural productivity, profitability and
contribution to food and nutritional security and safety globally. Their
actions are through advocacy and collaborative projects of its
members. The Club of Ossiach also facilitates collaboration especially
through collaborative projects.
10. Vision
• The Club of Ossiach´s in the next decade will develop into an
internationally accepted think-tank on issues related to ICT use in
agricultural development globally Through its members, it will
support more effective use of ICTs in the agriculture and forestry
better knowledge management for sustainability in farming and in the
protection of environment.
11. Mission
• The Club of Ossiach will regularly discuss collectively through
Agrifuture Days Conferences, seminars, discussions, and
collaboratively act on influencing the use of information and
communications technologies (ICTs) to improve agricultural
productivity, profitability and contribution to food and nutritional
security and safety globally along with the protection of the
environment. The Clubs actions are through advocacy and
collaborative projects of its members. The Club of Ossiach ‚will also
facilitate partnerships through collaborative projects of its members.
12. Club of Ossiach recommendation for family
farming
• Family farming in different parts of the world which in general
reflected trends globally
• Development of information and communications technologies,
especially those influencing agriculture
• Family farming in the future that can be improved by the
developments in information and communications technologies
13. Club of Ossiach recommendation for family
farming
• Policies promoting and enabling aggregation of family farmers and farming
systems such as through cooperatives, producer organizations, farmer
organizations etc. ICTs can contribute to “virtual” aggregation of farms,
synchronization of farm inputs, processes, outputs and logistics to
participate in markets.
• New Forms of advisory and support systems for knowledge, skills and
technology
• Trust Centers with Data and Information Agreements, Treaties with
regulatory and enforcement mechanisms to share data at various levels
and among multiple categories of users from plot, farm, farming system,
region, national to global agricultural and related systems.
14. Club of Ossiach recommendation for family
farming
• New business-models that integrate governments, farmers and
banks, insurance, market intermediaries, cooperatives etc. for
participation in markets
• Inclusive Governance of flow of data, information, knowledge, skills
and technology
• Inclusive development of standards
• Open Technologies – Open data, information, knowledge, learning
• Increased democratization of science, learning and support to
exponential innovation
• Lower cost of Hardware, infrastructure and connectivity
Different groups of stakeholders have to manage many different and heterogeneous sources of information that need to be combined in order to make economically and environmentally sound decisions, such as:
definition of policies (subsides, standardization and regulation, national strategies for rural development, climate change);
valuation of ecological performances;
development of sustainable agriculture, crop recollection, timing and pricing;
plagues detection, etc.
