BUILDING THE IOF2020 ECOSYSTEM

BOTTOM-UP APPROACHIoF2020 ensures user acceptability of IoTsolutions in farming and food sector byaddressing users’ needs, including security,privacy and trust issues.

As such, IoF2020 encourages the demandon farmers’ side for IoT solutions.

IoF2020 is setting up an IoT ecosystem for

a large-scale uptake of IoTs in the Europeanfood and farming chains.

12

TOP-DOWN APPROACHIoF2020 demonstrates the businesscase of IoT for a large number ofapplication areas in farming and foodsector.

IoF2020 integrates and reuses availableIoT technologies by exploiting openinfrastructures and standards.

13

TOWARDS THE IOF2020 ECOSYSTEMAn ecosystem is a complex web of communities and actors evolving in aspecific environment and interacting as a system.The IoF2020 societal ecosystem provides the ground for:

14

Improved uptake of IoT in the agri-food sector

Improving the acceptance of IoT technologies among the end-users and spreading their use in the farming community

Better interoperability of IoT technologies used in IoF2020

Continuation of the integration of the IoT and agri-food sectors after 2020

IOF2020 IN PRACTICE

EXAMPLES FROM IOF2020 - CHAIN-INTEGRATED GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION

• Vegetable farmers face numerouschallenges. The IoF2020 vegetable trialaims to demonstrate how thecultivation process can be automatedby using an intelligent combination ofsensors and data analysis.

• With a full sensor-actuator-based systemin tomato greenhouses, IoF2020 willdemonstrate and develop a decisionsupport system (DSS) based on IoTtechnology for the greenhousetomato supply chain.

EXAMPLES FROM IOF2020 – FRESH TABLE GRAPES

• Harvest time and selection arecrucial for the quality of fruits, whileresources’, logistics’ anddisease/pest control demandsremain high.

• At plant level, IoT will help lowering theuse of water and crop protection offresh table grapes by developing adecision support system that combinesweather data with soil sensor data.
