8. • Model of a farm portal, integrating the needs of farmers
• 1. Structured and standardized information for the daily need
• GIS, farm management, logistics,, precision farming, virtual farming
• standardiseable farm expert data (machines and their costs/benefits,
fertilizer and their content, herbicides and their active substances, energy and
CO2 output, crops and varieties and methods describing in a standardised
manner all activities during a crop-periode)
• 2. Structured information on demand
• „AGRO-WIKI“ – a Wiki-like agro-database filled by national or international
experts (part of it might be WP4 of EC Future Farm project – „Knowledge
management“) that is linked to a FMM system and
• pop up windows during standard work and showing specific news
• 3. Marketing and communication tools for farmers towards their customers and
chain partners as well as public authorities
• 4. Trust centre that allows farmers to document their work and allows worldwide
selected access

9. • Needs of farmers:
• all farmer`s partner have needs:
• farmers, ministries, chain partners, advisory services, science etc., but
• a farm portal MUST take care at the neeeds of FARMERS
• a farm portal must represent the holistic approach of farming
• a farm portal must represent agriculture, forestry, environment, risk
• a farm portal must integrate chain partners
• a farm portal must be driven be farmers / farmers representatives
• a chain partners portal is not a farm portal, it represents the partners
interest
• a Ministry portal is not a farmers portal, it represents the Ministries interest
• a farmers portal must have access rights for farmers and visitors
• access rights must be based on legal and/or bilateral agreements and
• take care on one ICT principle of highest importance: Enter data only once!
• and accept the rule: The farmer is the owner of the data!

10. Farmers work includes:
• management of subsidy claims (Invekos, LPIS) – not in all countries
• management of fields and forests and management of animals
• management of environment caretaking and of natural risks
• management of energy, of nutrients, of CO2
• management of horizontal integration with
• order processing and logistics
• precision-farming
• virtual farming (Gewannebewirtschaftung) as part of land management
• environment- and risk-management
• utility management (networks for water, energy, …)
• sensor network management (meteorology, water, soil, ….)
• management of vertical integration
• of administrative bodies
• of chain partners
• based on principles of ownership of information and of
social responsibilities
