2. What is agriculture ? Agriculture, alsocalledfarmingorhusbandry, is thecultivation of animals, plants, fungi, andother life forms fob ford, fiber, biofuel,medicinalsandotherproductsusedtosustainandenhancehuman life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise ofsedentary, human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development ofcivilization.
3. What is e-Agriculture? E-agriculture (sometimes written eagriculture) is a relatively recent term in the field of agriculture and rural development practices. Consistency in the use of this term began to materialize with the dissemination of results from a global survey carried out by the United Nations (UN). This survey conducted in late 2006 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) found that half of those who replied identified “e agriculture” with information dissemination, access and exchange, communication and participation processes improvements around rural development. In contrast, less than a third highlighted the importance of technical hardware and technological tools.
4. E-agriculture, therefore, describes an emerging field focused on the enhancement of agricultural and rural development through improved information and communication processes. More specifically, e-agriculture involves the conceptualization, design, development, evaluation and application of innovative ways to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the rural domain, with a primary focus on agriculture.
5. What is thegoal of the platform? Toenableparticipantmemberstoexchangeopinions, experiences, goodpracticesandresourcesrelatedto e-Agriculture, andtoensurethattheknowledgecreated is effectivelysharedandusedworldwide.

7. E-Agriculture: AgricultureInfoSystem TheIntegrations Withother e-Gov Projects Ministry of Interior National e-Id Project (e-Id) The Integrations to do with other e-Gov projects Land/Real EstateRegistrationSystem (LRS) e-CustomsSystem The Integration with other Governments Turkiyeis open for this idea. This is already applied. And for some more countries it is still been workingto do so.
8. E-Agriculture : Benefits/Opportunities on the System Thissystemprovides; Cross verified data entrance (declarations by farmers and records which should befitted as well, among them) . ScientificR&D Decision Support Systems is used to develop strategies and agricultural politicswhere supports & subsidies are used as a tool to attaract the farmers into the record system (like cheap fuel, cheap seedor cut in taxes etc.) to manipulate the agricultural market by determining amount ofproductionandsoprices. ForecastingAgriculturalProducts Projections on Agriculture Risk Analyses on Agriculture.
9. E-Agriculture : Agriculture Info System (AIS) Sustainability If this system is to be constructed into the another country; To use, to develop and administriate the AIS system, there should be aimed that thesufficient human resource sources to be provided in the country where the system to beconstructed. It is essential that the country should be self sufficient to use the AIS on the subject ofadministeringandusage. We are not aiming any trade & income but to get friendship and brothershood with thecountrycollaborated.
10. E-Agriculture : Agriculture Info System (AIS) Sustainability However the other companies and states, promoting their system, could be; Giving no open source codes and giving insufficient training , they are aiming to make thecountrydependanttothem. In this respect there should also be security risks because of binary codes, not being opensourcecodes. Also they may not provide all the system secrets again to make the country dependanttothem. If no enough local human resources educated then allways you should call the company.Some time later the company may vanish. In the future time this dependancy not only increases the costs but also risks thesustainabilityof theproject.
11. E-Agriculture : Agriculture Info System (AIS) How to have an independent, self sufficient and sustainablesystem, By constructing local human sources is very important : It is necessary to determine the qualified personnel ofthe country from their human resources. Then an education & training should be given to them one-govermentarea by a planned program. By working with e-gov strategists: The system to be constructed, should be determined by e-govstrategists on the respect of the essentials of independancyand self sufficiency. (Such as platform independent, havingopen sourced so secure code, providing some internationalandnationalstandards) .

13. E-Agriculture : e-Aquaculture TheComponents The records of Aquaculture Sector, it includes Fishing/CatchingActivities Transportation of fishes Sellingactivities The records of Businesses in Aquaculture; Companies' information Companies' flowchartforprocessing/producing. Companies' products TheMicroeconomics of Aquaculture ShipInfoSystem
14. E-Agriculture : e-Aquaculture ShipRecordsincludes Ships' Information Visasof ships It is also possible to follow the geographicalcoordinates/locations of the ships from satellites byintegrating with another e-gov projects.
15. E-Agriculture: GIS applications inagriculture AgriculturalRegionsInfo System : Regionsaredefined byitssoil, climate, geographicalstructures, Agricultural Land Registration System : The info about the Lands recordedsuch as ownership, product, geographic coordinatesetc.
16. E-Agriculture : GIS applications in agriculture These recorded data provide us opportunitiesandapplicationsto produce necessary strategic plans and politics in agriculture
17. E-Agriculture :FarmerRegistrationSystem (FRS)
18. E-Agriculture : Food Security Info System SystemProvides This system enforce the food/feed producers toapply Turkish and International standards. Using this system it is possible that to determinethe food risks by analyses on the system. It is possible to find out the harmful remains,pollutions on the food/feed and to takepreventivedecisions.
19. E-Agriculture : Food Security Info System Thecomponents Productionindexcomponent, Companies, businesses, and their productionscomponent Basic Information (Institution, Organization, owners,responsiblepeople, personnel staff, adress of them,location of them-including foreign countries) component Productioncodingcomponent Control Planning component Controls and control results records component Laboratuaryanalysisinfocomponent Early warning and Alarm component
20. E-Agriculture : Economics A good implemented e-gov project returns its investment in a year. Good implementation is possible by e-Gov strategists. After the first year the project returns high profits so does effects GDPI to incease even multiplier effect is not taken intoaccount. The biggest income is citizens' happiness provided by electronic services. This income is the most important and not measurablebymoney.
21. E-Agriculture : Secure and Reliable System In the e-Agriculture systems, security is provided Byservers Byusers Bytelecommunicationsinfrustructure Byprogramminglanguagecodes By data entered : Verification & crosschecks
22. E-Agriculture: Farmers Lowercosts Increasedproductivityandincome Better risk mitigation (e.g., pests, disease, weather) Greateraccesstoexpertinformation,services, andbestpractices
23. E-Agriculture:Governments Economicgrowthandjobcreation in ruralareas Greaterfoodsecurity Improvedrelationshipswithruralcommunities E-Gov Projects should be planned by an e-GovArthitect. Before an e-Gov project started, Integration (illusrated on the left) should be considered. Common platform (dataBase & system), common Interface (One window web page) should be projected and considered in thearchitecture.
24. E-Agriculture : Market aggregators: Abilitytodirectlyandcost-effectivelysourceproduce in bulk Abilityto optimize market efficiencybyconnectingbuyersandsellers Suppliers : Direct, inexpensive, and transparentaccess to larger groups of farmers Better forecasting for greater efficiencyand fewer losses Stronger relationships with farmers
25. E-Agriculture : MicrofinanceInstitutions : Access to detailed information on farmers to better assess credit-worthiness and manage risk Ability to serve new customers who previously had no formal access to affordable finance Better understanding of unmet financial needs, enabling creation of innovative financial products such as crop loans and insurance
26. E-Agriculture : Entrepreneurs : New job opportunities with growth potential Opportunities to deliver much-needed services to farmers (soil testing,financing, logistics, farm machinery, etc.)
