Abstract

European arable farmers increasingly suffer from an administrative burden caused by intense governmental legislation and regulation and information demand on activities in the agri-chain. The geo-ICT domain provides useful tools to their increasing call to simplify the rules and administration. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) combined with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and wireless communication (GPRS, UMTS) make up a perfect toolkit to develop hands free registration systems for crop husbandry activities on parcel level, and thus assisting the farmer in his time consuming administrative tasks. Geo-enabled farming is promising in the context of technological development of satellite navigation, GIS-datasets and development of sensors for the registration of machinery activities. Innovative farmers together with geo-researchers and hardware developers built a hard- and software demonstrator to register ‘where’, ‘when’ and ‘what’ on parcel level without human interaction. Test bed results show the potential benefits for arable farmers. The collected and derived data can be used for farm management and to deliver information to the agro-industry chain and retailers. Based on evaluation of the information model used in the experiment, future developments and research challenges are presented. The benefits of integration of geo-technology and workflow management are evident, but the results also show that more detailed work has to be done.
