Governance of Data Sharing in Agri-Food - towards common guidelinesSjaak 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, aiming at improving farm and chain performance. Many companies are refraining from sharing data because of the fear of governance issues such as data security, privacy and liability. Moreover, they are often in a deadlock or afraid to take the first step even though they expect to develop new business with data. To accelerate the development of Big Data applications, this paper analyses governance issues and introduces a set of guidelines for governance of data sharing in agri-food networks. A framework for analysis was derived from literature and used to identify lessons learned from recent projects or initiatives. From these results, a set of draft guidelines was developed. The framework and guidelines were evaluated in a workshop. The framework consists of factors that are related to governance on data sharing in networks. Internal factors are: efficiency, effectiveness, inclusiveness, legitimacy & accountability, credibility and transparency. External factors are: political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors. For each of these factors, guidelines are provided in terms of: issues to be addressed, best practices and lessons learned from other projects and initiatives. It is concluded that the framework is complete in covering all relevant issues on governance in data sharing but the guidelines must be considered as a first set, which can be further improved and extended in the future. A wiki-type-of-website could help to upscale the guidelines at a global level. The guidelines could also be further refined accounting for different maturity levels of agri-food networks. The guidelines in this paper are considered to be a valuable step into the direction of solving governance issues in data sharing, which is expected to accelerate Big Data applications in the agri-food domain.

The Twilight Zone as a metaphor refers to the situation where innovations have proven to be promising but have to be up-scaled to a higher level of adoption. Therefore we have to bridge the difference between technology readiness and user readiness. “We don’t need more apps. We need a system”. This short quote of a farmer reflects the high degree of fragmentation and discontinuity in innovation processes we observe.
More focus on the user readiness of technologies and support by multi-actor ecosystems is required, in which innovations are embedded in a system approach and tested in living labs. These are important pathways towards a sustainable digital innovation ecosystem and to navigate through the Twilight Zone.
During the 2021 Mansholt Lecture, l presented the options and challenges for stakeholders in the transition towards a sustainable digital innovation ecosystem. Europe needs to consider creating an integral European policy on this issue.

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.

Digital innovation for sustainable food systemsSjaak Wolfert
This presentation will show that digital solutions help addressing multiple sustainability issues, particularly illuminating how producers and consumers can use digitalisation to support a transition towards healthier diets.
Smart Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a new holistic approach on ICT development, integration and implementation where it harmonizes with Science and Technology, to produce new products, service, enhance workflow and improve human life. With this approach it enables inclusiveness on growth and sustainability on society development, where it enables equal access to technology and its innovations by bridging the gaps on how we do ICT in the past.
Five awesome ways the internet of things is changing businessBradYoung59
With the Internet of Things (IoT) predicted to create $5 trillion in economic value in B2B settings, this presentations looks at five business uses connected technology and data to work smarter, more efficiently and drive better outcomes, in fields from audit to healthcare.
The internet of things (IoT) is a steadily growing billion-dollar market largely driven by companies undergoing digitization for greater efficiency and transparency, as well as by 5G and emerging applications like smart cities. Satellite’s inherent capabilities — such as its ability to reach remote areas, its ability to scale, to extend coverage for other providers — make it an essential part of a hybrid network needed to support an interoperable IoT system.

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.
Farmers, growers, and agricultural companies are increasingly adopting digital technologies to transform a traditional industry. In the past, farmers and growers made decisions based on their personal experience, combined with interpreting local conditions.
But digital technologies, from the internet of things to blockchain, are rapidly turning the industry into a high-tech sector. Smart, connected devices can now provide the insight to enable farms to improve every aspect of their operations.

Any meaningful analysis of data depends entirely on the quality of data that is captured. And the method to capture data, which is still quite common in fieldwork, is the paper form.
Even where technology is deployed, the process is brought with vulnerabilities making the data either stale or inaccurate. Mobile viz, using smart devices to replace incumbent methods promises to solve all problems in a single shot.
Ideafarms's Heathwatch is a prototype solution that shows the power of this idea in the area of Disease Surveillance and Proactive Management of Epidemics.

A novel integrated approach for handling anomalies in RFID dataijujournal
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a convenient technology employed in various applications. The
success of these RFID applications depends heavily on the quality of the data stream generated by RFID
readers. Due to various anomalies found predominantly in RFID data it limits the widespread adoption of
this technology. Our work is to eliminate the anomalies present in RFID data in an effective manner so that
it can be applied for high end applications. Our approach is a hybrid approach of middleware and
deferred because it is not always possible to remove all anomalies and redundancies in middleware. The
processing of other anomalies is deferred until the query time and cleaned by business rules. Experimental
results show that the proposed approach performs the cleaning in an effective manner compared to the
existing approaches.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
