An Integrated Value Chain for the Coffee Industry

这项提议将巩固在英国注册的商业和研究机构与瑞士中小企业Farmer Connect之间的伙伴关系。提案中的所有合作伙伴都已接触至少两年，就空间贸易和农民联通而言，探讨了商业产品伙伴关系协议框架下的技术产品整合的第一阶段。我们所有的伙伴都开发了软件和服务，为森林商品生产者增加了价值，并增加了在英国和瑞士可持续生产最广泛进口农产品的机会。空间贸易产生了基于卫星的服务，通过咖啡和可可生产地貌等农产品供应链监测毁林风险。Farmer Connect创建了基于区块链架构的高度创新的数据捕获和分发框架；该公司在提供以农民为中心的数字身份和产品可追溯服务方面处于全球领先地位。其他项目利益攸关方CABI和ASIMIMA已经创建了地球观测数据驱动的模型，以监测咖啡农业地点的病虫害风险。莱斯特大学国家地球观测中心开发了一种增强的森林砍伐监测能力，提高了行业标准、开源森林砍伐监测算法的准确性。我们的合作伙伴关系提供了一个在提供森林砍伐监测服务方面引领世界的机会，同时还增加了关于病虫害风险、数字产品可追溯性以及与小农进行直接交流和财务交易的机会的支持信息，从而增加了价值。随着气候变化的全面影响，对这些服务的商业、环境和社会驱动的前所未有的需求，以及减缓气候变化的努力被带到了世界上一些最脆弱的小农农业社区。通过结合我们的服务，我们将提供一条简单遵守全球新兴可持续发展法规的便捷途径：该项目的核心要素将包括：1.合作伙伴高度创新的软件服务产品的技术集成和测试，并创建综合服务产品。进一步验证咖啡病虫害模型在新的地理和景观中的关键病虫害。进一步验证和地面精度评估各种卫星EO提供动力的森林砍伐模型，并进行地面精度验证。与咖啡种植合作社进行综合服务特性的实际部署和测试，将研究TRL提高到9\.5。商业路线图，以进一步开发项目产出和深化协作产品开发机会。

This proposal will consolidate a partnership between UK-registered business and research organisations, and Swiss SME Farmer Connect. All of the partners in the proposal have been in contact for at least 2 years, and in the case of Trade in Space (TIS) and Farmer Connect, the first stages of technical product integration under the framework of a commercial product partnership agreement have been explored. All of our partners have developed software and services which add value to forest-commodity producers, and enhance opportunities for sustainable production of the most widely imported agriculture products in both the UK and Switzerland.Trade in Space has produced satellite-based services to monitor deforestation risk with agri-commodity supply chains, including coffee and cacao production landscapes. Farmer Connect has created highly innovative data-capture and distribution frameworks based on blockchain based architecture; the company is a global leader in the delivery of farmer-centric digital identity and product traceability services. Other project stakeholders CABI and Assimila have created earth-observation data driven models to monitor pest and disease risk at coffee agriculture sites. The University of Leicester's National Earth Observation Centre has developed an enhanced deforestation monitoring capability which increases the accuracy of industry-standard, open-source deforestation monitoring algorithms.Together our partnership offers a chance to lead the world in deliver of deforestation monitoring services, whilst also adding value with supporting information on pest and disease risk, digital product traceability combined with opportunities to directly communicate - and financially transact with smallholder farmers.There unprecedented commercial, environmental, and socially-driven demand for these services as the full weight of climate change, and climate change mitigation efforts are brought to bear on some of the worlds most fragile small-holder agriculture communities. By combining our services, we will offer an easily accessible route beyond simple compliance to globally emerging sustainability regulations:The core elements of the project will include:1. Technical Integration and test of partners' highly innovative software service products and creation of an combined service product offering.2. Further coffee pest and disease model validation of critical coffee pest and disease in new geographies and landscapes.3. Further validation and ground accuracy assessment of various satellite EO powered deforestation models, with ground verification of accuracy .4. Real-life deployment and test of integrated service characteristics with a coffee farming co-operative, raising research TRL to 9\.5. Commercial Roadmap to further develop project outputs and deepen collaborative product development opportunities.
