The Aporta Initiative organizes a webinar to boost open data in the Agricultural Sector
The agri-food and forestry sector is one of the main generators of rural wealth. Improving the efficiency of this sector, through digitization, is essential to promote entrepreneurship and address the challenges of rural areas, such as low population density or aging.
In this context, the Aporta Initiative organizes, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, a working session that seeks to support the digital transformation of the agricultural sector, with the focus on the role of open data.
When and where?
Under the title "Open data in the digital transformation process of agri-food, forestry and rural areas", the session will be held on June 25 at the morning (from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.).
Due to space restrictions, the event will only be available through streaming.
What topics will be addressed?
The event will be structured around two thematic round tables:
- Round table 1: Data for innovation development in the agricultural sector. During this round table, the speakers will evaluate the availability of data in the sector and its alignment with re-users’ needs. The objective is to identify measures to increase quantity and quality.
- Round table 2: Innovative practices based on data. The speakers will show public data reuse initiatives that are promoting improvements in the agri-food and forestry sector, and in rural areas. In addition, the event will be a good opportunity to discover emerging technologies that converge with data to enrich open public information.
Who are the speakers?
Representatives involved and committed to data publication and reuse will participate in both round tables:
- The round table 1 will be moderated by Rocio Wojsky, from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The moderator will be joined by Andrés Montero, from the Carlos III University of Madrid, Antonio J. Sánchez-Padial, from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, Francisco Javier Zaragoza, from the University of Zaragoza, and Paloma Abad, from the National Geographic Institute.
- The round table 2 will be moderated by Jose Ignacio Sánchez, of Red.es. The round table is completed by José Luis Molina, from Hispatec, Mercedes Iborra, from VisualNACert, Carlos Callejero, from SensoWave, Eva Navascués, from Pago de Carraovejas, and Guillermo Renancio, from EFOR.
The dynamics will drive invited experts to share opinions, experiences and proposals.
