Farming is one of the important link in the food sector. This sector needs to be built on an appropriate organization and control of processes, and to provide assurance on the safety and quality of its products which consumers could trust. Smart farm is of foremost relevance for the sustainability of the farming sector in meeting this responsibility. By smart farming we understand the application of data management and automation technologies on the overall value chain, that jointly orchestrated allow operation and management improvement (analytics) of a farm with respect to standard operations (near real time) and re-use of these data (animal-plant-soil) in improved chain transparency (food safety) and chain optimization (smart data) (Ref. AIOTI- WP6). Small and medium sized farms, which build the majority of the global agricultural production, are traditionally slow in adopting the use of these innovative digital tools and technology. This finding is more true in some Asian countries where farmers have not learned how to earn more money by producing and marketing their produce in a better way. SUNSpaCe provides an Education and training System to help Farmers understand the use and usefulness of the new technologies in three target country: Thailand, Nepal and Bhutan. SUNSpaCe is strategically designed to ensure the improvement of agriculture through efficient and appropriate use of intelligent agriculture in partner countries. The rationale is, each partner country will gain smart framing experience in both a particular context, and in a cross pilot setting up to share the smart farming best practices in the partner and neighboring countries. The expected long term impact of SUNSpaCE, in target countries are food safety, organic farming, environmental conservation, and poverty eradication, Improve working conditions, wealth sharing and sustainability in new normal globalization.
