<div dir="ltr"><div>The FOOD SIG overlaps with the INTERNET OF THINGS SIG in the application of Precision Agriculture. When you add the use of Drones for specific pest eradication etc you can see how the two can compliment each other<br></div><div>As to Joly's comment about Code for All conference. The Jamaican group spoke about an open source app called Harvest API, it's an open source project but no details are on the site. In the Jamaican example the funding is coming from the Canadian government IDRC and the idea is to provide Open Data to the farmers and their markets to encourage the free flow of information so that the farmers don't bring too many products to market. This has been done in many Mobile Applications in Africa. One of the more interesting projects I saw is the Potato Institute of India which shares information about the Potato Blight. This is the same blight that caused the Irish Potato famine in 1849 ( My relatives left Ireland as a result of the famine) This group shares information about the pin point locations of the blight and broadcasts to all the adjacent farmers to curtain it's spread. <br><br></div>G<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Glenn McKnight<br><a href="mailto:mcknight.glenn@gmail.com" target="_blank">mcknight.glenn@gmail.com</a><br>skype gmcknight<br>twitter gmcknight<br>.</div></div></div>

<div>Dear Chapter Leaders,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As an immediate follow up to my previous message about re-instating the SIGs, please find attached the application of the Internet of Food Special Interest Group. </div>
<div>Your initial feedback was very positive on the concept and the issue related to Internet of Food, but you all felt that this would be better organised in a Special interest Group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To close the process the group has re-applied as a Special Interest Group and I wanted you to see the full SIG application as well. Please provide any additional feedback latest by 18th of August.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks a lot</div><span><font color="#888888">
