WG5 Agriculture and Food Security Co-Chair Seishi Ninomiya, U. Tokyo Doan Minh Chung, VAST, Vietnam
Background • Needs – sufficient food to meet demand (Population? Diet transition?) – Quality and nutritious food – Profit of farmers – Stabilization of prices • Constraints for sustainable food production – Land and water resources – Limitations on chemical and energy use, and reduction of emission to protect environment – Climate change
WG5: Agriculture and food security (GEO GLAM) Presentations (1) Integrated use of satellite observations and ground observations (2) GEO GLAM (3) Key point and Discussion: – Understand ongoing various activities of ground based observation and GEO GLAM to promote data sharing, integration and modeling using IT technology such as OGC, cloud computing, etc. – Realize the necessity of data and platform integration under the cooperation and coordination of related activity with WMO/CAgM, APAN, AFSIS/JAXA, RECCA/GRENE and academia, etc. – Promote climate change mitigation and adaptation together through agriculture related project / activity – GO forward GEOSS next 10 years to promote collaboration between public sector and private sectors – End users requirement in Local / National / Regional opitimization Downscaling / up scaling •
To be discussed • Data and platform integration • Knowledge delivery, capacity building • Local optimization / global optimization • Trans-disciplinary collaboration – Development and collaboration scheme – Service
Panel discussion#1 (1)Data and platform integration 1) Platform integration; potential contribution from CAgM 2) Open data usage 3) API implementation and collection (API sharing) 4) Metadata standardization (2) Knowledge delivery, capacity building 1) Advanced farmers 2) Project - kids sensor project; education to young age (3) Local optimization / global optimization 1) data fusion / GIS data base 2) Social science / engineering don't have any experience about how difficult to use huge data.
Panel discussion#2 (4) Trans-disciplinary collaboration 1) Strengthening collection ground truth information 2) Provision of ICT sharing infrastructure under cloud computing 3) Joint demonstration projects as Win-Win strategy with synergy 4) Consult to provide sustainable service with visualization of data to provide 5) Collaboration with 5 WGs; water, biodiversity, carbon tracking are coupling. - water directly connected with agriculture, ground data sharing, - trans-boundary - cross collaboration with UN, FAO, etc. (how to make a coordination mechanism) - necessity of involvement of socio-economy (5) Other Possibility to co-host International conference on GAMOS alliance for better climate services to agriculture and food security on 25-28 November, 2014, NUIST, Nanjing, China
