IAgrE Landwards Conference 2019 - Presentation Recordings
CAN BIG DATA LEAD TO SMARTER FARMING?
WILL “BIG DATA” BE THE NEW TRACTOR FOR AGRICULTURE
Held on Wednesday 30 October 2019 in the Peterborough Suite at the East of England Arena
This conference explored how ‘big data’ is being used to improve agricultural practices, how farmers and technologists should work together to extract the value of ‘big data’ and identify future development opportunities.
The conference was extremely well attended by a broad cross-section of members, students, academic and industry experts - the presentations with their audio recordings are below, we hope you find them interesting and informative. Don't forget that watching the recordings is excellent CPD activity.
| Introductory Remarks – Understanding the Big Data challenge and the opportunities this brings for farmers and the wider supply and support system. Looking at the engineering and technology challenges and opportunities. - Professor Jane Rickson – President IAgrE |
| How will Big Data Transform Agriculture – Practical Lessons from the Farm – From Agronomist to Grain Merchant, Farm Manager to Machine operator, the role of data in shaping decisions and improving yields has moved on apace. This session will look at the work of agronomists and the emerging role of Precision Technology advisor and integrator. This session will focus on how the agricultural support network will link technology, knowledge and advice to deliver sustainable farming, linking Technology, Knowledge and Advice to Deliver Sustainable Farming. Oliver Wood, Precision Technology Manager, Omnia Precision Agronomy |
| IoT for Agriculture – The opportunity is now presented for the agricultural industry to take a lead in defining an IoT structure for specific agricultural support that goes beyond the specification of technology and addresses the need for developing a framework for accommodating protocols, standards, the needs for operational governance and open systems infrastructure to assist global application and scalability. This session addresses these challenges and opportunity to realise an industry-lead IoT for Agriculture – an IoAT. Anthony Furness MIAgrE - Visiting Professor, Harper Adams University |
| Digitalisation and Service Journey – the steps on the journey at CNH Industrial on the digitalisation of their machines and journeys. Filippo Fassino – Customer Contact Service Director CNH Industrial |
|
The role of Big Data in unlocking unimaginable solutions to feeding the world and environmental protection – Agrimetrics provides, connects and analyses complex data to drive greater productivity for agrifood businesses and deliver food sustainably. This session will explore how big data emerging from engineering/machinery-driven applications is transforming and has transformed other industries and therefore where there may be great potential for Agriculture. |
| The next generation CLAAS LEXION Combine Harvester – How data collection can contribute to smarter farming. Optimising machine performance with continuous data access allowing the manufacturer to fine tune the machine “on the move” through simultaneous “access data” and “connectivity” and on board support. In addition, “data delivery” and “data reception” to or from other systems and decision making tools. These tools can be vehicle/fleet related or contribute to the classic precision farming approach enabling an operation to utilise input more effectively - the right amount, at the right place and time. Dr. Joachim Stiegemann – CLAAS Product Management |
| Big Data: Changing the paradigm for small farms - The UK is predominantly made up of small mixed farms, which present very different challenges to large arable farms. Luke Halsey of Farm491, the UK’s leading AgriTech incubator, will explore how big data represents an opportunity for smaller farms and how we can create value for farmers by providing valuable insights from data. From Luke’s experience working alongside AgriTech entrepreneurs he will discuss lessons learned and potential opportunities for smaller farms, as well as the importance of the business model to enable equitable farmer adoptions. Luke Halsey – Farm491 |
