Catalyzing the creation of a Data Ecosystem for Agriculture & Food
Presentation of the GODAN Data Ecosystem WG (http://www.godan.info/working-groups/data-ecosystem-working-group) at the 2nd Joint workshop of Big Data Europe & e-ROSA initiatives on European Policy Perspectives on Data-intensive Agriculture & Food.
Doing business with Open Data in agriculture
NEUROPUBLIC is a Greek company founded in 2003 that provides digital services for agriculture. It has established a coalition with farming organizations and a bank to support Greek agriculture through open data and technology. This coalition formed GAIA Business S.A., which offers various services to farmers through its GAIA cloud platform and network of environmental sensor stations. NEUROPUBLIC is building new business models and data-powered services for agriculture using open data sources like Copernicus data, remote sensing data, and data collected from its sensor network.
SC2 Workshop 2: Open Data Charter Sector Package for Agricultural
The Agricultural Open Data Package (AgPack) aims to support governments in developing open data infrastructure to address food security issues. It focuses on sustainably increasing agricultural production, building resilient food systems, and facilitating accessible and equitable markets. The AgPack takes a community-consultative approach and will not provide a blueprint, as agriculture is diverse. It will validate its approach and collect relevant datasets through online and expert consultations between July and December, with the goal of empowering farmers, optimizing practices, and improving transparency and efficiency through open data.
EGI ENGAGE Fishery & Marine Legal Interoperability
Agroknow presentation of the current analysis of the legal interoperability in the fishery and marine sciences domain. The presentation was made in the EGI ENGAGE workshop, organised by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department.
Government as a platform
The document discusses the digital transformation of government through platforms. It makes three key points:
1) The digital revolution is driving massive changes similar to the industrial revolution, with software disrupting many industries. Governments must innovate to keep up.
2) Platforms have become the dominant business model and governments should think of themselves as platforms - using open data and APIs, building their own platforms, and embracing new development methods.
3) A new vision is needed where governments create value by embracing digital tools, working with innovators, and developing open digital commons and services through continuous improvement. This will require a new culture of openness, participation, and delivery of public services.

ICT4D / D4D - What / how to do - Mathias Lardinois (BTC Tanzania)
This document discusses the use of digital tools and ICT4D (information and communication technologies for development) in development programs. It notes that there is no single standardized approach or methodology, and focus should be on demonstrating benefits rather than just using tools. It outlines a 4-step methodology for designing programs based on user needs. It also lists 6 rules of thumb for selecting digital tools, emphasizing mapping needs, considering existing tools, testing options, planning for adjustments, and reflecting on what works. Overall it stresses the importance of focusing on impact and sustainable systems designed with local partners and beneficiaries rather than just projects or tools.

Facing the Frontier with Cloud-First: Accelerating the Pace of Public Sector ...
Government and public sector entities are keenly aware of the benefits of adopting new and innovative technologies across their organizations. Whether costs savings, agility, accessibility, or opportunity for innovation, public sector entities are transforming the ways they do business and deliver services to their constituents. However initiating this transformation is not always intuitive, nor is it easy, and often requires disruption at the highest levels of government to be achieved. Around the world in places like Bahrain, Argentina, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and here in the US, public sector entities are taking the plunge towards the adoption of a "cloud-first" posture. In this session, we hear from government representatives of all levels and countries on their experiences- the good and the bad- in challenging the status quo around government transformation/IT modernization by going "cloud-first."

This is a technology foresight using the Scenario Planning method that addresses the focal issue: "How can we integrate fintech and agriculture so that low-cost and/or appropriately priced financial instruments and services are more accessible to PH farmers by the year 2027?" The Philippines remains as one of the top agricultural producers of the world. According to IndexMundi, the Philippines ranked 22nd in terms of agricultultural production with around USD 30.7 billion value of output created in 2018. The Philippines has 30 million hectares of land area, where 23 percent is agricultural land (Philippine Statistics Authority, 2017). The estimated contribution of the sector in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country is around 10 percent. However, the sector’s contribution to the GDP contributed by the sector is continually decreasing (Philippine Statistics Authority, 2021). The Philippines is in the best position to have an agriculture-driven economy. But the sight of it is far beyond as the sector has been pressed with persistent challenges. In order to conduct the technology foresight for the Agrifintech, three scenarios were created based on the identified Key Predictable Variables (KPV) and Critical Uncertainties (CU) which were clustered together to separate the high-impact, high uncertainty from the high-impact, low-uncertainty graph points.
Facilitating regional growth through they use of open agricultural data
The document discusses how open data and knowledge sharing can facilitate regional growth, using the agricultural sector as a case study. It describes Agro-Know, a company that captures, organizes, and adds value to agricultural information to make it universally accessible. It notes that open data is not always ready to be used directly and may require processing to improve quality. Opportunities exist for data-oriented small-to-medium enterprises to help organizations open their data and develop meaningful services using open data. The document provides examples of how open data could be used to build food safety infrastructure, support regional growth decision making, and localize open educational resources. It asks how knowledge could be better shared between EU/national and regional communities.
Geonode summit ifad_geonode_20201207

GeSI’s research finds that digital solutions will have a huge and
measurably positive impact on each of the three interrelated dimensions of development covered by the SDGs: improving people’s quality of life, boosting equitable growth and protecting the environment
GeSI System Transformation Report 2016
Widespread deployment of digital solutions will substantially contribute to all three dimensions of development covered by the SDGs. For example:
Improving people’s lives: 1.6 billion people could benefit from more accessible, affordable and better quality medical services through e-healthcare, while connected car solutions could save up to 720,000 lives annually and prevent up to 30 million traffic injuries (SDG#3);
Boosting equitable growth: Digital solutions like the Internet of Things and robotics can help bring almost US$1 trillion in economic benefits to industries from smart manufacturing and smart logistics (SDG#9);
Protecting the environment: Digital solutions could enable greenhouse gas emissions reduction and drive market transformation for renewables, cutting carbon emissions by around 20 percent in 2030 (SDG#13).
David Bergvinson
The document discusses leveraging information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve agricultural development in developing countries. It outlines opportunities to:
1) Strengthen access to location-specific soil and weather data by improving digital data collection and SMS-based forecast delivery.
2) Expand access to agricultural knowledge and education through participatory video, radio, and ICT-enabled extension support.
3) Develop an overview of ICT tools, software, and systems to support agricultural data collection, management, delivery and user feedback.

Project summary iNASHR ICARDA - Laura.pdf
The Innovative Agriculture for Smallholder Resilience (iNASHR) project (Egypt) was implemented over 3 years during which there was the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to instability in farm prices and uncertainties in water availability.
Despite this, 18 teams of Entrepreneurs for Rural Access (ERAs) serving as digital extension service providers were able to reach more than 60,000 people in rural communities between 2021 and 2023.
Three specially commissioned “farmer-to-farmer” style training videos were produced (see at the bottom of this blog post),
and 60 other relevant Access Agriculture videos were translated into Arabic and shown to farmers.
These active service providers, half of whom are women, used a solar-powered smart projector to reach communities where access to power supply, internet connection and mobile phone signal can be challenging.

‘How is the African insurance industry responding to climate change?’
6 June 2023. ‘How is the African insurance industry responding to climate change?’
https://paepard.blogspot.com/2023/06/how-is-african-insurance-industry.html
The insurance industry is exposed to the risks of climate change and that risk is increasing. Insurers should be aware of these risks and the potential impact on their business. A 2019 global survey [With Climate Impacts Growing, Insurance Companies Face Big Challenges] found that 72 percent of insurance companies believe climate change will affect their business, but 80 percent of them have not taken significant steps to lessen climate risks. Moreover, insurance companies invest the money from the premiums they collect in the financial markets. They have $582 billion invested in fossil fuels investments that could be devalued as climate risks increase.
As natural disasters become more frequent and more costly, insurance companies are facing big challenges. If insurers are to weather the storms ahead, they’ll need to make some changes. The insurance industry needs to make substantial changes to deal with its own climate risks. Some of these changes could also enable insurance companies to help speed the transition to a net-zero society.

How are African banks coping with Climate Change
16 May 2023. This webinar discussed how climate-related risks threaten the functioning of banking institutions as well as the stability of the financial system.
Climate change and climate policy affect the balance sheets and business models of banks in different ways. African banks are vulnerable to the increasing frequency and severity of climate change shocks. They are also increasingly aware of the importance of adopting green financing principles, seeking to address risks and more importantly, to grasp new opportunities.
However, only 17% of banks have so far introduced specific green financing products, and these are estimated to account for only 2-20% of their portfolio . The webinar discussed how climate-related risks threaten the functioning of banking institutions as well as the stability of the financial system. The discussions also shed light on initiatives of banks to implement sustainable practices and central banks to create an enabling environment for sustainable finance drawing on international best practices.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
