  1. ICT-enabled Agricultural Science for DevelopmentScenarios, Opportunities, IssuesbySjaak WolfertEFITA president/LEI Wageningen UR ICTs transforming agricultural science, research & technology generation Science Forum Workshop Theme 3

  2. Scenario’s • Information systems development: loose coupling of webservices (BPM/SOA/SaaS) • Precision Agriculture: more precise management in time and space (geo-information, embedded ICTs) • (Rural) Living Labs: user-centric, open innovation

  3. Opportunities • Large datasets from practice => basis for knowledge development • ‘Everybody’ can be involved in development • Global use of services • a German farmer, using a Czech farm management system, requests site-specific fertilizer advice. Field parcel boundary information is retrieved from the national LPIS. The advice service is based on a French knowledge-based advice module and it uses satellite data (LAI map) from a Dutch service provider, and soil analysis data from the local soil laboratory

  4. Issues • make communication between service components possible • standardization of infrastructure, data, applications and processes • new methodological/statistical approaches • sometimes requiring a mind shift of scientists • different project management structures and financial mechanisms to enhance the living lab/open innovation approach
