Integrated data sharing boosts farm advice across agriculture platforms

DS2-Based Cross-Data-Space Interoperability for Precision Agriculture

Abstract: Despite the strategies of modern precision agriculture to leverage the integration of legacy agricultural systems, the challenges of IoT data fragmentation, farmers' sovereignty preservation, and limited interoperability still persist. This paper presents our work, conducted within the Horizon Europe DS2 project (DataSpace, DataShare 2.0), that applies an interoperability-oriented framework supporting participants of different agricultural data spaces to share data products and services under secure, sovereign, and transparent methods. The suggested methodology follows a layered reference architecture, where each layer consists of independent operational modules that facilitate the inter-sector data exchange between DigiAgro and AgroScience Data Spaces. The result of this work is an automated ecosystem for sharing diverse farm IoT measurements, satellite images and metrics, weather forecasts, and analytics services across distinct data spaces, aiming to generate accurate recommendations on crop practices, such as irrigation schedules, that farmers and agronomists will rely on to increase crop production while maintaining sustainability.

The gist
Many farms use different devices and data systems that don’t easily talk to each other, making it hard to combine information. The authors worked on a system to let different agricultural data spaces share and use data securely and transparently. This allows farmers and experts to access combined information like sensor readings, satellite images, and weather forecasts to get better advice on things like when to water crops. The system helps farms make better decisions that improve crops while caring for the environment.
