The SmartAgriFood project is part of the Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (FI-PPP) program and addresses agriculture, agri-logistics, and food awareness as a use case for it. Intelligence, efficiency, sustainability, and performance of the agri-food sector can be radically improved through the use of information and decision support systems tightly coupled with advanced Internet-based networks and services. At the same time, the sector provides use cases for the design of the Future Internet from the physical layer to the service layer.
This project focuses on three subsystems of the sector:
- Smart Agriculture, focusing on sensors and traceability;
- Smart Agricultural Logistics, focusing on real-time virtualization, connectivity, and logistics intelligence;
- Smart Food Awareness, focusing on data transparency and knowledge representation.
Using a user-centric methodology, the use case specification will be developed with a particular focus on transparency and interoperability of data and knowledge across the food supply chain.
Project deliverables will include:
- Use case descriptions for smart agriculture, including advanced and robust broadband sensing and monitoring of animals and crops;
- Use case descriptions for smart agriculture logistics, including intelligent transportation and real-time logistics of agricultural and food products;
- Descriptions of use cases for smart food awareness, with a focus on providing consumers with information about safety, health, environmental impact, and animal welfare;
- Identification of general requirements for generic enablers;
- Extensive community and user organization involvement in both requirements gathering and pilot demonstration and evaluation;
- Specification of interfaces and functionalities for integration into the core platform (see FI-Ware project);
- Significant contributions to standardization and regulatory bodies in Europe.
