THE FUTURE FARM VISION OF EXTERNAL DRIVERS AND INFORMATION FLOW
Karel CharvatKarel Charvat jr.
External drivers
Climate changes Demographic (Growing population,
Urbanisation and land abandonment) Energy cost New demands on quality of food (Food
quality and safety, Aging population and health problems Ethnical and cultural changes)

External drivers
Innovative drivers (Knowledge based bio economy, Research and development, Information and communication, Education, Investment)
Policies (Subsidies, Standardisation and regulation, National strategies for rural development)
Economy (Economical instruments, Partnerships, Cooperation and Integration and voluntary agreements)

External drivers
Sustainability and environmental issue (Valuation of ecological performances, Development of sustainable agriculture)
Public opinion (Press, International Organisation, Politicians)

Opposite requirements
Food quality and safety versus Food requirements for growing population
Growing requirements for food versus Renewable energy production
technologies Renewable production energy demand
versus Demand on more environmentally friendly production

Role of knowledge management systems The objective of knowledge management is
to help farmers to be competitive on the market in the sense of
required products, quality and amount, to react on changes on the market political changes and changes of related rules, to respect requirements about environment
protection, climatologically changes.
It is also important to produce with the long term goal of farm sustainability.

Levels of information
Macro level, which includes management of external information, for example about market, subsidies system, weather prediction, global market and traceability systems, etc)
Farm level, which include for example economical systems, crop rotation, decision supporting system
Field level including precision farming, collection of information about traceability and in the future also robotics.

What are current research focus and what are main influence Currently research in developed World is
mainly focused on field level, eventually farm level
In practice, it could influenced farm profit in range of 30 percent
Possibilities to use macro level or external information could influence farmers profitability in hundreds percent
For example right selection of crops etc. So it is evident, that focus has to be in
future on work with external information12.7.2011EFITA/WCC 2011 Praha
