Aston Business School’s Centre for Sustainability and Innovation has been awarded funding of £192,402, over two years to carry out research on the needs and challenges of using internet technologies in the food and agriculture sector.
The research, that is part of an EU major initiative called the “Future Internet”, will focus on the application of internet technologies to agricultural and food production, food logistics and food awareness.
The research includes tracking the tomato from the farm to the supermarket, and collecting a great deal of data along the way, such as location, temperature, humidity.
The Future Internet provides the applications to publish the data and for the data to be used by multiple commercial and research organisations.
