[Chapter-delegates] Application to form the Internet Society Chapter on Internet of Food

[Joyce Dogniez]

Dear colleagues,

The following application for a Chapter on Internet of Food has been
received.
It is being sent to this list for peer comment and review. Please note
that the Chapter is not yet formed and has not been officially recognised
by the Internet Society.

As this application for a topic based Chapter that would be a little
different from the geography based ones, here is a little explanation of
the concept (an excerpt from the application):
Internet of Food is a concept equivalent to Internet of Things, though
more complex and dynamic and with potentially larger impact on human life.
Yet, the discussion on how we combine the power of the Internet with food
is little explored in spite of its massive potential to affect key areas
such as food security, transparency, health and food waste through
innovation and openness. The proposed chapter on Internet of Food aims at
leading the
discussion regarding this new field and to engage a wide audience in
building better solutions for how to feed the planet in a healthy and
sustainable way.

				
			
		
	
If there are people on this list that know any of the individuals

proposing to establish the Chapter, their feedback is especially welcome.

The period allowed for comments is two weeks and the deadline is April 16,
2015.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on or off list.

Best regards,

Tommi Karttaavi
Manager, Chapter Development - Europe
Internet Society
