ISO Strategic Advisory Committee on Smart Farming (ISO SAG SF):
ISPA is working with ISO SAG SF to identify gaps in international standards related to agri-tech. Specifically, ISO is looking for precision farming experts to advise the following subgroups on: Crop Production, Livestock, Urban Farming, Climate & Environment, Data, OEM, Social and Economic Aspects, Supply Chain, and Terminology. An overview of the ISO SAG SF challenge is available at: https://www.iso.org/news/ref2799.html. If you are interested in being involved, please contact former ISPA president, Prof. James Lowenberg-DeBoer at jlowenberg-deboer@harper-adams.ac.uk.
