Lecture 19: Open data/ Open govt. standards and open source Centurion University of Technology and Management, Odisha, India
Open data in ICT in agriculture refers to data that is freely available to anyone to use and reuse. This data can be used to improve agricultural productivity, sustainability, and resilience. Improved decision-making: Open data can be used to improve decision-making by farmers, agricultural professionals, and other stakeholders. This data can help them to make better decisions about crop management, livestock production, and other agricultural activities. Increased productivity: Open data can help to increase productivity by providing farmers with information on the best practices for crop management, pest control, and marketing. Improved efficiency: Open data can help to improve efficiency by providing farmers with information on the movement of agricultural products through the supply chain. Sustainability: Open data can help to promote sustainability by providing farmers with information on how to reduce their environmental impact.

Examples of open data in agriculture: Weather data: Weather data can be used to help farmers make decisions about crop planting, irrigation, and harvesting. Soil data: Soil data can be used to help farmers assess the quality of their soil and to determine the best crops to plant. Market data: Market data can be used to help farmers track the prices of agricultural products and to make decisions about when to sell their products. Research data: Research data can be used to help farmers learn about new agricultural practices and technologies. Centurion University of Technology and Management, Odisha, India
There are a number of open government standards in ICT in agriculture. These standards help to ensure that data is shared and used in a consistent and sustainable way. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards: The OGC is an international organization that develops open standards for geospatial information. The OGC has developed a number of standards that are used in agriculture, including the Web Feature Service (WFS) and the Web Map Service (WMS). The Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) e-Agriculture Standards: The GFAR is a global forum that brings together stakeholders from the agricultural research community. The GFAR has developed a set of e- Agriculture standards that are used to facilitate the sharing and use of agricultural data. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) e-Agriculture Standards: The FAO is a United Nations agency that is working to promote the use of ICTs in agriculture. The FAO has developed a set of e-Agriculture standards that are used to facilitate the sharing and use of agricultural data. These are just some of the key open government standards in ICT in agriculture. These standards help to ensure that data is shared and used in a consistent and sustainable way.
