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.

IoF2020 project overview for BDE/eRosa/GODANSjaak Wolfert
Presentation of the IoF2020 project at the 2nd Joint workshop of Big Data Europe, eRosa & GODAN on European Policy Perspectives on Data-intensive Agriculture & Food.
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.
Bridging the skills gap IoT Tech Expo Berlin 1 Jun 2017Sjaak Wolfert
Bridging the skills gap: How industrial/academic partnerships can benefit your IoT business.
Several of the large IoT players have recently partnered with universities and colleges worldwide to ensure that the next generation of recruits have the high level technical skills and understanding of the IoT ecosystem need to add value to their businesses. How should you take advantage of such collaboration opportunities, and how can they translate into increasing innovation and getting that competitive edge within your organisation? The EU-funded IoT Large Scale Pilot 'The Internet of Food and Farm 2020 (IoF2020)' will be used as a showcase. New opportunities for collaboration will be mentioned.
This document discusses a "smart farm" project that uses sensors, internet connectivity, and semantic technologies to monitor and manage a farm. The project collects data from 100 soil sensors and 2 weather stations on the farm. It uses an ontology and linked open data to semantically integrate and provide open access to the sensor data. Machine learning algorithms could potentially generate predictive models from the sensor data to estimate values without physical sensors. The system detects events on the farm like cattle leaving and alerts farmers. It aims to help farmers make informed decisions and remotely monitor their farm operations.
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.
The document discusses the increasing role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in agriculture and food systems. It describes how technologies like mobile/cloud computing, location-based monitoring, the Internet of Things, and big data can help address challenges in transportation, input supply, farming, food processing, retail, and consumer demands. Examples are provided of ICT solutions that offer benefits like early detection of animal health issues, optimized crop spraying advice, and food traceability. Concerns are raised about issues like data ownership and the potential for industry consolidation or lock-in under different business models enabled by big data in agriculture.
Large ICT-projects in Agri-Food in EuropeSjaak Wolfert
This is a presentation about the background, development and state-of-the-art of large ICT-projects in Agri-Food that are going on in Europe: Internet of Food and Farm 2020 (IoF2020) and SmartAgriHubs.
- Qoudra is a technology company that has developed IoT solutions for farming and renewable energy since 2009.
- Recently, they developed an Internet of Farming solution called Mirsaad for Agriculture that collects big data from plants in real-time using sensors to measure parameters like temperature, humidity, and soil moisture.
- This solution consists of BLE beacons to identify each tree, sensors, a control unit, data gateway, and local data center to buffer data when internet is unavailable.
KG2 has been collecting, compiling and managing data for agricultural marketing professionals for over 20
years.It serves the markets and works with the leading organisations involved in crop production in Australia.
This document provides an overview of the IoF2020 project, which aims to foster large-scale adoption of IoT technologies in European farming and food production. The project objectives are to (1) demonstrate IoT's business value across various farming and food applications, (2) integrate and reuse available IoT technologies through open standards, and (3) ensure user acceptability by addressing needs like security, privacy and trust. A lean multi-actor approach will be used to conduct trials of IoT use cases in areas like arable, vegetables and dairy farming. The project aims to establish an IoT ecosystem to support large-scale adoption beyond the lifetime of the project.
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.
Smart Farming is a development that emphasizes the use of information and communication technology in the
cyber-physical farm management cycle. New technologies such as the Internet of Things and Cloud Computing
are expected to leverage this development and introduce more robots and artificial intelligence in farming.
This is encompassed by the phenomenon of Big Data, massive volumes of data with a wide variety that can be
captured, analysed and used for decision-making. This review aims to gain insight into the state-of-the-art of
Big Data applications in Smart Farming and identify the related socio-economic challenges to be addressed. Following
a structured approach, a conceptual framework for analysiswas developed that can also be used for future
studies on this topic. The review shows that the scope of Big Data applications in Smart Farming goes beyond
primary production; 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. Several authors therefore suggest that Big Data will cause major shifts in
roles and power relationsamong different players in current food supply chain networks. The landscape of stakeholders
exhibits an interesting gamebetween 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 in which the farmer is part of a highly integrated
food supply chain or 2) open, collaborative systems inwhich the farmer and every other stakeholder in the chain
network is flexible in choosing business partners as well for the technology as for the food production side. The
further development of data and application infrastructures (platforms and standards) and their institutional
embedment will play a crucial role in the battle between these scenarios. From a socio-economic perspective,
the authors propose to give research priority to organizational issues concerning governance issues and suitable
business models for data sharing in different supply chain scenarios.
IoF2020 project overview for S3 platform Big Data and TraceabilitySjaak Wolfert

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.
This is a keynote presentation presented at a conference on INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND DATA APPLICATIONS IN THE AGRIFOOD SECTOR, 26 February 2019 at Boğaziçi Üniversitesi South Campus, Rectorate Conference Hall, Turkey. It describes multi-disciplinary, collaborative, agile approach for digital transformation of the agri-food sector based on the IoF2020 and SmartAgriHubs project.

The Future of Connected Agriculture - FIWARE 2023 - John Wood - Libelium.pdfFIWARE
The overall food system nearly reached the next strategic inflection point. IoT technology, data sharing and consumers’ demand for sustainable production methods are pushing limits. More than ever, agricultural production needs to deploy knowledge intensive farming practices and increase data sharing. Existing data exchange platforms need to become open data exchange ecosystems managing data owners’ consent and facilitate dynamic collaboration of stakeholders. This shall increase productivity and reduce food loss and waste of the circular food system from Farm2Fork.
FIWARE open-source software and agri-food data models are a cornerstone to facilitate this development. New sources of data can be made accessible, while decreasing effort for aggregating, processing, providing, and accessing data. This session is presenting different practical examples for data usage at the farm site and of partners collaborating along the food supply chain towards consumers helping them to learn about their choices.
The session will also summarise challenges and opportunities of the future of connected agriculture. This is specifically considering a technological perspective. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to meet colleagues from different sectors and business domains, aiming at building the foundation of the future data economy for food systems. This will offer the opportunity to learn about synergies considering the close integration of agriculture in smart villages as well as advanced food production and delivery systems that are at the heart of smart cities.
IoT and 5G in Agriculture: opportunities and challengesSjaak Wolfert
This is a keynote presentation at a workshop that was organized by Marconi Labs Coltano on 'Wireless technologies in agriculture. The presentation describes the general trend of digitalization in agriculture and food production. This is further illustrated by the IoF202 use case 'Big Wine Optimization' that demonstrates use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in agri-food. From this use case an overall, integrated approach to work on digital innovation is deducted which emphasizes both technological as well as organizational aspects. It also briefly introduces the potential use of 5G illustrated by a use case of the weed detection robot using a pre-5G network in The Netherlands. Recommendations to leapfrog development are provided for three distinctive scenarios ranging from 'no smart farming yet applied' to '5G implementation available'. The presentation ends with conclusions, that are also provided in Italian.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

The Grapevine Industry includes different stages and different stakeholders
Each stage includes different types of data that support taking different desicions
The decisions need to be taken with data from the different stages of the value chain of the Grapevine Industry
There are extremely large and heterogeneous data flows that need to be handled. This the main problem addressed by BigDataGrapes Project
Big data is becoming a hype that is going to completely redefine industries within very traditional sectors like agriculture, food and beauty.
Big Data Grapes is an ICT project that aims to support European companies active in two key industries powered by grapevines: the wine industry and the natural cosmetics one to become more competitive in international markets.
It also improves the competitive positioning of companies in the European IT sector that are serving companies and organisations with software applications, such as:
Farm management and precision agriculture systems for vineyards
Food risk assessment monitoring and prediction systems for companies in the food sector.
Quality control and compliance software for companies in the beauty and cosmetics sector.
BDG is targeting technology challenges of the grapevine-powered data economy, as its business problems and decisions require processing, analysis and visualisation of data with rapidly increasing volume, velocity and variety:
The project specifically tries to help companies across the grapevine-powered value chain ride the big data wave, supporting business decisions with real time and cross-stream analysis of very large, diverse and multimodal data sources.
These data include satellite and weather data, environmental and geological data, phenotypic and genetic plant data, food supply chain data, economic and financial data and more.
The project involves the following types of commercial partners of the European grapevine-powered industries:
Wine producers, bottlers and distributors that are managing large vineyards and are taking critical decisions that may affect (a) product lines, such as which grape varieties to combine in order to produce a new wine; or (b) production years.
Producers and packagers of food and wine products using grape by-products as ingredients (such as raisins, must, vinegar and grape juice) who are continuously monitoring the quality of their product.
Natural cosmetic companies that have product lines based on grapes and wine that are continuously testing the quality of the grape extracts which they are using as ingredients.
Improve the quality of raw materials based on data
Improve the ability to take quick decisions through farm management systems (e.g. when I am going to water my farm?)
Correlation of different quality biomarkers for producing better grape extracts used for cosmetics
