An  company  that  captures,  organizes  and  adds  value  to  the  rich  informaJon  available  in  agricultural  

domain,  in  order  to  make  it  universally  accessible,  useful  and  meaningful.

Key  facts  about  agricultural  trends  

Agriculture  is  about  to  experience  a  “growth  shock”  in  order  to  cover  the  exponenGally  increasing  food  needs  of  the  global  populaGon  

•  All  demographic  and  food  demand  projecGons  suggest  that,  by  2050,  the  planet  will  face  severe  food  crises  due  to  our  inability  to  meet  agricultural  demand  –  by  2050:  

•  9.3  billion  global  populaGon,  34%  higher  than  today  •  70%  of  the  world’s  populaGon  will  be  urban,  compared  to  49%  today  

•  food  producJon  (net  of  food  used  for  biofuels)  must  increase  by  70%  

 •  According  to  these  projecJons,  and  in  order  to  achieve  the  

forecasted  food  levels  by  2050,  a  total  investment  of  USD  83  billion  per  annum  will  be  required  

 •  A  large  part  of  this  investment  will  need  to  be  focused  on  R&D

Open  Data  in  Agriculture  

One  of  the  most  promising  routes  to  agriculture  modernisaGon  is  the  provision  of  Open  Data  to  all  interested  parGes  

•  In  an  era  of  Big  Data,  one  of  the  most  promising  routes  to  achieve  R&D  excellence  in  agriculture  is  Open  Data,  and  in  parJcular:  –  provisioning,    –  maintaining,  –  enriching  with  relevant  metadata  and  –  making  openly  available    a  vast  amount  of  open  agricultural  

data  •  The  use  and  wide  disseminaGon  of  these  data  sets  is  strongly  

advocated  by  a  number  of  global  and  naJonal  policy  makers  such  as:  –  The  New  Alliance  for  Food  Security  and  NutriJon  G-­‐8  

iniJaJve  –  FAO  of  the  UN  –  DEFRA  &  DFID  in  UK  –  USDA  &  USAID  in  the  US

open  data  is  not  always  ready  to  be  used….  

•  Messy  data  •  Should  be  collected/fused  •  Should  be  filtered  •  Should  be  validated  •  Should  be  enriched  with  metadata  to  become  discoverable  

•  Should  be  standardized  to  allow  interoperability

opportuniJes  for  data  oriented  SMEs  

1.  Help  organizaJons  to  open  their  data  –  consulJng  services  –  open  source  sodware  as  a  service  

2.  Develop  meaningful  services  using  open  data  –  data  processing  to  improve  quality  –  end  users  apps
