Development of platforms to collect and share field data
A platform used by farmers to catalogue data captured by farmers in their fields can also be leveraged to create and organize field maps over the seasons. These maps could then be shared directly via the platform in order to be used by agronomists and other farmers.
This type of tool can be used to detect pest pressure, to set field boundaries or to define soil sampling points. Users of such a platform, mainly farmers and agronomists, can share information to collaborate effectively on certain issues, which can help them make decisions. They can also share recommendations and reports.
A good practice is to offer a first version of the application for free so that the user can try it and know if it would be interesting to subscribe monthly.
Special attention should be paid to data protection when sharing. A good example of such a tool is Sirrus. Learn more about it on https://fairshare-pnf.eu/tool-details/60bde1322e2a4b141eb3b39d
