How the Open Value Network (OVN) model can be applied to glocal food systems. This is also about web-of-things on a p2p platform, which follows the structure of an OVN, the design philosophy and its mode of production and distribution.

7. trends
the food system is in transition!
● DIY movement: micro farming
● local food systems: sustainable towns
● value networks: glocal food systems

8. trends
food systems are becoming decentralized and
glocal.
●
●
●
hierarchical institutions lose their informational advantage
emergence for open spaces for sharing and collaboration
emergence of three levels of development: individual, local, regional/global
socio-economical factors that accelerate the change
●

●
recent financial and economical crisis
ecological and climate problems
the emancipation of the Multitude

9. SENSORICA sensing & sensemaking
SENSORICA value network is committed to the design
and deployment of intelligent, open sensors and
sensemaking systems, which allow our communities to
optimize interactions with our physical environment and
realize our full human potential.

17. requirements
what type of devices do we need for soil, water and food
testing and production?
●
●
●
agents: chemical and biological
concentrations - based on limits accepted - standards
conditions - measures based on seasons, temperature, humidity,
ripining/maturity (for products), after/before treatments, etc.
we'll put them together...

18. the state of the art
where is the lab-on-a-chip technology?
how far are we from supporting quality testing for the food
system?

19. meet the requirements
Identify the labs, companies, individuals we need to put
together in order to cover everything needed to put these
technologies to good use, in a short amount of time?
Map the field of skills and resources, map the lab-to-market
process, and put all entities on this map.

20. going beyond the institution
work gets done within SENSORICA and Greener Acres,
which are open value networks.
bridges are built with other open (source) networks, signal
intentions, needs and incentives to them and provide
infrastructure for value exchange.
open innovation - open means local!

21. this, is the beginning...
