Hi everyone,

As there were some questions on overlap with IoT for this application I went ahead and asked the application team for some clarification.

See below their answer.

I also want to clarify that we indeed do not ave any SIG or application for a SIG on Internet of Things at this stage.

Warm regards
Joyce

All,

I got this below forwarded to me. I am responding to the list and hope
someone will approve the posting. I am not on this list as I am not
representative of any ISOC chapter, although I am a member of ISOC-SE.

My response is:

The only "question" I find is the one on overlap with IoT.

First of all, there is, as far as I know, no SIG on Internet of Things.
Secondly ISOC do not have any activity on IoT part from a paper that is
under construction (which I happen to know as I am helping with it).

What exists is a Dynamic Coalition on Internet of Things where many
individuals and organizations participate, where ISOC is one:

http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/content/article/118-dynamic-coalition-proposals/1217-dynamic-coalition-on-the-internet-of-things

They just had a meeting directly after IETF in Prague.

Sure, there might be overlap, just like there is overlap between what is
done in many chapters, or many different groups of different kinds. IoF
is to that degree more focused, but also do not have the baggage of IoT.
To handle the overlap, I expect many people active in IoF is also active
in IoT, like myself.

And, regarding activities related to IoF that is already happening, that
is EXACTLY why we have tried to get a chapter, and now SIG at ISOC for I
think 6 months or even more. Just because there are so many activities,
ISOC, if anyone, must do proper coordination, that have not happened
with IoT. We see some coordination in IoT now, but it is late, very very
very late. We can not allow ourselves to miss the train regarding food.

Food is so important.

The first major event will be a conference in coordination with the
World Exhibition in Milan end of September. If the SIG issues are
finally resolved in time. I think it would be a good thing for ISOC to
be visible there.

If you have more questions, do not hesitate reaching out to us directly.

    Best, Patrik Fältström

It's right that "The  FOOD  SIG  overlaps with the  INTERNET OF  THINGS  SIG".
There is also a similar project in Cameroon like the one in India.

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.

This is one of the biggest challenge we are facing in underdevelopped countries. Fight against poverty alleviation by enhancing Agriculture and making good use of Internet to help improve and get more revenue.
And what Vint is addressing is how to protect agriculture against plant diseases by anticipation. Add Satellite technologies that are used to do water drain calculation and harvest anticipation.

The Internet of Food SIG might also address the problem of plant diseases by exploring databases of healthy and diseased plant images that could be used to help farmers diagnose crop problems (take photo with mobile, search for match in the database, connect with experts to redress the problem)...

Dear Chapter Leaders,

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.
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.

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.

Thanks a lot
Joyce
