[Chapter-delegates] Application received for Internet of Food Special Interest Group

Tue Aug 11 06:30:45 PDT 2015

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
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.
