1. Cybera Summit 2011 - Banff

2. A Spud Farmer…Its true:

4. History of Farmingnow here’s something you didn’t think you were coming to Banff to hear…What does ICT Cloud computing and the Neolithic Farming Revolution (end of the stone age) 10,000 years ago have in common? Fertile CrescentThey are new cutting edge technology of their time…Farming Revolution – 8000 BC in the Fertile Crescent and other areas

5. Birth of civilization and abundant populations

6. For the first time in Human history people were “rich”

7. Allowed a lifestyle change that brought about the luxury of free time, - beginning of writing and art and somewhere down the road… cloud computing

8. Important factors of theFarming Revolution PeriodProducing enough food to support a healthy community, survival

9. Security of food supplies from raiding neighbors – began civilization and hierarchies

10. Rise and fall of Empires based on productivity of land, water, fertility and the cycle of Mother Nature (MNS)

11. So begins a quest for food production sustainability and a required increase in yield / acreto support the growing population

12. Game changing events of agricultureCyberInfrastructureGMO YieldGreen Revolution1940-70: high yielding varieties, distribution of fertilizer and pesticidesARTHaber – BoschFeeding 1/3 to ½ Of the population todayIndustrial RevolutionEarly 1900’s ARTMid 1800’sJustus von Liebig “law of the minimum”Nutrient additionARTFarming Revolution8000BCARTirrigationTime

13. Reality TodayPrediction that Only 6 countries will be exporting More food than they consume within the decade

14. Sustainability and the return to natural cycles that support themselvesFarming’s Sustainable areas:Climate, Land and waterCommunity, communicationDistribution of goods, and inputsEnergy securityEconomics

15. Important factors of the Farming Revolution Period TODAYProducing enough food to support a healthy community Planet

16. Security of food supplies – Food Safety

17. Rise and fall of Empires Population based on productivity of land, water, fertility and the cycle of Mother Nature

18. (MNS)

19. And so begins continues a quest for food production sustainability - indeed an increase in

20. yield / acreHow can Cyber Infrastructure Help?Best Management Practices – with Knowledge of TodayFood safety, and real time public communication 3. Precision Agriculture dialed up – this is not newThe implementation of yesterdays ideas, with technology, data analysis and management capacity of todayEmpathy and a Desire to feed the world!Can we together help create Alberta’s new champion

21. Best Management PracticeWhat we are doing with technology available todayBuilt in Alberta…

22. Best Management PracticeWhat we are doing with technology available todayWhat we are doing…

28. Grow, Live, Be the Change

30. 2. Food safety, food production communication record keeping, regulation and traceability stewardship

31. Real time seamless communication

32. With variable rate technology, new regulation and record keeping regulation, there is a dire need for advanced technical help in the agricultural field

33. Collaboration necessary, tecconnect center in Lethbridge a superb example of initiating the collaboration required3. Precision Agriculture:Incredible Potential to increase the Yield / Acre!The technology available today

34. Where it can take us tomorrowField Variability: Significance…

35. Variable Rate Technology

36. Infra Red and other sensor technology from satellites

38. Understanding an Irrigation Pivot

39. Variable Rate IrrigationGIS and recipe referencedExcited “progressive Farmers say:YAAAAAAHOOOOOO!!! Now that’s a return on Investment!

42. A Potato Field 2010:Planted acres: 128 operational inputs $2222/acHarvested acres: 80

43. Potato Fields 2011:Planted Acres: 1280Harvested: 1097 (87%) same inputsPotato Fields 2010:Planted Acres: 1300Harvested: 998 (82%) same inputs

44. Better Potato Fields – What it needs to look like!

49. Yield Sept 17thPicture late June Picture late July

50. Yield estimateThis field:~ 20% - 20 t/ac or more~60% - 16-19t/ac ~20% - <16t/acIn short this means we can either increase the yield on 80% of the field with Precision ag technology, or reduce inputs accordingly.

51. What we can do tomorrow, the applications…Tech support – within Alberta we have an incredible opportunityUnmanned Aircraft, real data, real time, every day, real recipe’s real ROI in Alberta

52. Integrated data hub, replicable agricultural and demographic W2E powered

53. Smart Energy Grid, ship data, not power - Distributed

54. Link the public with their food, real time, real seamless

55. BE a Real sustainable smart system, closed biosphere aware – We are feeding the worldICT linkPrecision AGPotential clients: Water and Environmental Hub?GreenStar Network?AB ARD open dataCenter network?$Optic FiberData management Hub

56. Yes I agree, Change happens. Another reason the stone age ended was because humans discovered farming…  let us not forget… Tweet: "The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stone." Change happens ready or notThanks!

57. TheOPPORTUNITYCollaboration with all the right people are in this room to champion the Alberta / Canada Advantage, be a part of itthe technology expertise and cyber infrastructure presence

58. The Value-add and true example of technology WOW

59. The Rural Development and distributed wealth advocate

60. The farmer with a need, that recognizes the technology can help us do better, and the technology people that recognize we can help them to achieve their goals with a real application today that helps build and create a network required for tomorrow, with sustainable ROI all the way through!

61. Fantastic R&D presence – AB innovates, the refreshed and inspired new provincial leadership, the universities and colleges, the brilliant youthTogether Let’s make it happen!

62. Why make this happen?Grow, Live, Be the Change
