This document summarizes a presentation about scaling up smart agriculture technologies using FIWARE. It discusses: 1) The goals of the FIWARE Smart Agrifood Mission Support Committee for 2019-2020, which include increasing membership, monthly information sharing, and focusing on topics like data harmonization and system interoperability. 2) Highlights from the past 12 months consolidating a reference architecture, reusable components, and data models. 3) Next steps like collaborating at an agriculture technology conference, compiling requirements for upcoming funding calls, and reference implementations to facilitate interoperability.

4. FIWARE SMART AGRIFOOD Mission Suport Committee
2019 – 2020 main goals
• “inner circle” of members committee related topics
with only people from the FIWARE ecosystem and a
“wider circle” where to invite persons that are
already interested in FIWARE in this domain
• Mailing list: a monthly mail for sharing information
and topics
Topics:
• Data harmonization
• System of System implementation / interoperability of solutions
• Context broker usage/functionalities
• Involvement of farmers in our topic / technology
• Specific domain topics (i.e. FIWARE in the livestock, crop, …)
