Mikä oli haaste/ongelma, johon puututtiin?

The information and data for farmer to keep and show to the relevant authorities remain more and more. They need to keep their data to calculate next years crop rotation, fertilizer to use, plant protection to use, yields, money and so on. And even more, if farmers want to get subsidies and payments from government and EU, they need to submit certain info. The main problem with this is that while data and amount of information keeps getting bigger its hard to manage all that data if it stays in many places written with hand and when farmer actually need them they cant find them or can find only part of the data. That is the main reason to make a place where all of the farmers information about farm – crop production, animal husbandry or horticulture (crops, fertilizer, plant protection, eläimet, rehu, finances, field history, geo maps and so on) will stay in one place.

Miten ratkaisit ongelman?

To solve the problem with data/ information accumulation and saving for the farmers, the data supporting system was created – Mans lauks (my field). Digital platform witch is easy to understand and easy to use for any kind of farmers in any kind of agricultural sectors. This system is usable in all of the digital devices – PC, laptop, puhelin, tablet etc. To make this happen in this project strong partnerships were created ( johtavia tiedemiehiä, yliopistot, advisors who are working directly with farmers on their daily job, farmers who where very helpful and open minded and some agricultural company with big experience in the agricultural sector.

Mikä on innovatiivista käytännön tapauksessa?

Data support system only for farmers. Farmers are able to give access of the system to their workers, family members or advisors.

Mitkä ovat menestystekijät ongelman ratkaisemisessa?

One of the main success factors is that this system is only for farmers. That means that only farmer can decide witch part of information they want to share. This system is for farmers only and without farmers accept no one can see or use this information and data. For farmers that one point was really important and necessary.

Opittua

Farmers should be involved in the early stage of the system development

Programming usually takes longer than expected

Mikä rooli neuvonantajalla tai neuvontapalvelulla on käytännön tapauksessa??

To develop this project it took some years. All this period of time advisors played essential role in this project. Because they are the peoples who directly working with farmers and they usually knows best what farmers exactly need.
