Take away message

•  Keep the user in mind! (Toys ! Tools)

•  GNSS is entry technology for precision farming and key enabler for business improvement;

•  Farmers need clear business cases ! legitimise investments; –  Economical and environmental !

•  Sector benefits from long term vision (aligning Government and Business).

(machine – office)

•  Growing amount of farmers have access to very accurate GNSS in their operations.

2. Innovation system

•  We need to understand innovations uptake •  System approach

•  Rapid assessment across Europe: –  You need a benefits base; –  You need an investment base; –  You need a knowledge base;

–  Farm size, Farm income, farmer age.

Why a GNSS user forum?

•  Demand driven evolution of European GNSS: –  Feedback on GNSS use; –  Inventorise new needs and requirements; –  Propose new mission and service concepts; –  Priorities in policy.

•  Present and defend the needs of their communities –  in the development of applications of the European

GNSS; –  and of the evolution of the systems,

•  Promotion of commercial use.

!"#$%"&'(&) *+,-.)*/012/34) X<)

UNIFARM GOAL

•  Setup and operate a User forum to present and defend the needs of agricultural users in the development of GNSS applications and services;

•  Bridging the gap between early adopters and majority;

PRECISION FARMING

What is precision agriculture?

It is a technology •  Machine guidance - implement guidance; •  Sensors; •  Time- and location specific activities / VRA; •  Integration of data, systems, knowledge. It is a management style •  Total Quality Management: Plan-Do-Check-Act; •  Make smarter decisions; •  Systems thinking. It is a transition instrument •  Stimulate co-innovation involving (all) stakeholders; •  Strengthen competitiveness + export opportunity for solution

providers; •  “Greening” agriculture!

!"#$%"&'(&) *+,-.)*/012/34) !')

Legitimise / Search Guidance

•  “Double production with half the inputs” •  Clean, green, lean production •  ! Comply with regulations

•  CAP2013+ ! •  Greening •  Opportunity to award precision agriculture as a

greening measure.

Wrapping up

•  GNSS is entry technology for precision farming and key enabler for business improvement;

•  Farmers need clear business cases ! legitimise investments; –  Economical and environmental !

•  GNSS use contribute to CAP control and Farm production ! synergetic use / leverage.

•  Sector benefits from long term vision (aligning Government and Business).
