8. From Farm to Fork

10. Drones, Big Data and Agriculture
 Agriculture is becoming a software business
● Competition on platforms, data ownership
● Incentives for new entrants
 Monitoring will greatly improve
● Agriculture can be optimised
● Specialisation between roles (investor, manager,
laborer)
 Agricultural chain shortcuts arrive
● eFarmer / online trading
● Farming on demand / Harvest on demand
● Effects on pricing, contracting

11. Implications for policy research
 Environmental effects
● More effective using monitoring data
● Collect and dissiminate best practices
 Undesirable Market changes
● New monopolies
● Future of family farming
 Data ownership / privacy
● Privacy issues vs open access (transparancy)
● Cyber security
 Research Infrastructures
● Support Big Data analytics

12. Thanks for your attention
