The side event provided a good insight in opportunities and challenges for applying geodata into the domain of AgriFood.
It was learned that an inclusive approach is a necessary conditions for success. Emphasized was the demand driven approach; the need for contact with the client, the farmer, to develop a reliable service and a sustainable business case.
