Item Accelerating precision agriculture to decision agriculture: the needs and drivers for the present and future of digital agriculture in Australia(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, 2017) Zhang, A; Baker, I; Jakku, E; Llewellyn, RThe aim of the project was to benchmark Australian producers’ needs, perceived risks and benefits, and expectations associated with digital agriculture and big data context. Such understanding will inform strategies aimed at 1) better utilising agricultural data to enhance productivity and profitability, and 2) better capitalising on the opportunities created by digital agriculture and big data. In consultation with P2D project members and participating RDCs, CSIRO designed the survey questionnaire and conducted a survey of 1000 producers across 17 agricultural industries during the period of 7 March to 18 April 2017. The sampling specifications for each industry was defined in consultation with relevant participating RDCs. The study investigated producers’ needs, perceived risks and benefits, and expectations from three aspects: telecommunication infrastructure, the status of current data collection, and data sharing and concerns in the big data context.Item Accelerating precision agriculture to decision agriculture : a review of on-farm telecommunications challenges and opportunities in supporting a digital agriculture future for Australia(University of New England, 2017) Lamb, DWThis project is supported by funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources as part of its Rural R&D for Profit programme. The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development Corporations, and is focused on three main aims: facilitating the development of digital technology in Australian agriculture; fostering the establishment of appropriate legal frameworks, data systems and access to critical datasets; identifying the data communications systems required to deliver the benefits of digital agriculture to the Australia farm and agribusiness sectors.
