Running a HS-age #STEM summer program at work, and focused our efforts on showcasing #precisionagriculture in a small form factor, with embedded #iot for enhanced usability and accessibility. Basically, a #smart #garden bed!

Came across this article today, and couldn't be more saddened at the reality of the state I call home. Hoping my students take this project to heart, and walk away with something more than a resume builder

Australian farm data shows a positive link btwn ICT #investment& #productivity: The use of #precisionagriculture & machinery linked with #ICT is beneficial, as is better internet access; farms with #internet connectivity problems have lower productivity: https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-8489.12512

“A Transient Printed Soil Decomposition Sensor Based on a Biopolymer Composite Conductor”

Two positive things about this technology:

• The sensors are biodegradable, which minimizes soil contamination;
• It may foster a sustainable relationship between supply and demand of expendable products.

@ChadMBaum @robertfinger nice thread on our #precisionagriculture paper, Chad! Certainly relevant for @agriculture

Particular initiatives that would be helpful here, along with selling points of #PrecisionAgriculture are available in the "go zone", which shows those drivers deemed both impactful and able to be influenced 7/FIN

By comparing #actor #perceptions, we identified points of agreement as well as disagreement.

Disagreement centers on "societal perception and transparency", "trust" and "usability", especially between #farmers and policymakers.

This axis is thus crucial to establishing the collective understanding necessary for #adoption of #PrecisionAgriculture 6/

As #actors rated the drivers by importance (below) and ability to be influenced, we also gain insight into which drivers fall into the "go zone" of being malleable and important.

Notably, benefits in terms of #traceability and #efficiency stood out for #PrecisionAgriculture 5/

To explain limited #adoption of #PrecisionAgriculture technologies, we examine the lack of a collective understanding by focusing on the #actors in this #innovation system and their #perceptions of their potential roles.

We employ the method of Group Concept Mapping, whereby participants discuss drivers for #adoption and #diffusion of #PrecisionAgriculture, before then sorting these drivers into conceptual clusters and rating them in terms of importance and their ability to be influenced 2/

Very excited to share our new work (with Debora Moretti @Melf @robertfinger
and Stefanie Bröring), on #actor #perceptions of the #PrecisionAgriculture #innovation system in 🇩🇪 🇨🇭 , published in Technological Forecasting & Social Change 1/

This goes beyond walled gardens and proprietary #software and hardware: some farmers don't even own the very data they generate, once it is uploaded to the #cloud - for backup and their own good, they're told. Insurance companies and futures market investors can make good use of it.

Many reasons why #interoperability, #openStandards and #FOSS should be the norm. If necessary, mandatory.

Some farmers don't have all the equipment they need, so they hire. And how can farmers and service providers share field data - like sowing and application parameters, polygons, terrain obstacles, yield maps, work surfaces - seamlessly, between themselves and #GPS or #RTK -enabled machines?

They can't. So much talk about #precisionAgriculture and there is still no such thing.

There are many options for GNSS corrections services, suitable for different applications. So many that it seems like Gold Rush days. More choice is a good thing. A look at some of the different types. Plus (on the preceding page in the link) a look at how tiered corrections services are serving precision agriculture.

I need to hire a research fellow to start as soon as possible within the @agr_o_rama project. We want to deploy information-based monitoring strategies on real #UAV #swarm to support #PrecisionAgriculture.

The position is limited to EU residents.

DM for info, and please RT!!
