The agriculture sector is a unique sector due to its strategic importance for both citizens (consumers) and economy (regional and global), which ideally should make the whole sector a network of interacting organizations. Rural areas are of particular importance with respect to the agro-food sector and should be specifically addressed within this scope. The FOODIE project aims at building an open and interoperable agricultural specialized platform hub on the cloud for the management of spatial and non-spatial data relevant for farming production; for discovery of spatial and non-spatial agriculture related data from heterogeneous sources; integration of existing and valuable European open datasets related to agriculture; data publication and data linking of external agriculture data sources contributed by different public and private stakeholders allowing to provide specific and high-value applications and services for the support in the planning and decision-making processes of different stakeholders groups related to the agricultural and environmental domains.

This paper is based on Future Farm project analysis and defines first version of vision of Future Farming system and also future knowledge management system used by European farms, which will be designed and developed by the Future Farm project. The vision will be updated during the project and final vision will be published in the end of the project. Important part of the vision is definition of external drivers and their influence on farm business in future define possible role of farmers on the market. Future changes in position of external drivers at the scale of importance in farmers development makes different changes on farm business and farmers readiness for operation. It will dramatically change farming system. Analysis is looking on situation in three periods: short (2013), middle (2020) and long (2030). Our vision expected, that farming system will continuously converge to the situation of two types of farm: industrial farm, which will guarantee both food safety and food security for European citizens and multifunctional farms, which will be focused on from which part on well being and environment protection, The existence of second type of farm depends on agreement of all European society about the role of this type of farms,. Future farms" management will easily react on changes on the energy marked and consumers" needs. However, farm management always stays before basic decision. To put money for long time technology investment with minimum changes or short or medium time investment with high flexibility to marked needs. To make a right decision required recommendation. The main focus of that our recommendation is on integration of knowledge, technologies and information integrating among different levels of farm management systems and on identifying the requirements from previously analyzed external drivers on knowledge management. The report defines three levels of farm management: Macro or external management, Farm level of management and Micro of field level management The recommendation proposes an architecture based on communication of interoperable services, so called Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), for easy integration of different levels and components of farm management. The focus of the whole system will be based on supporting decisions on farm level.

... Use cases and requirements of the OLU were defined as a joint effort of eight European research, innovation, and application projects. During the FOODIE project, the OLU dataset was used for various agriculture use cases and extended by agriculture-related data [48]. Semantic models and related ontology based on the Linked Open Data approach were designed during the FOODIE project as well [49] and later extended within the DataBio project [50]. ...
