Enterprise Interoperability and Enterprise Collaboration are among the main ingredients to support collaboration between industrial partners. As a matter of fact SMEs and research organizations are an essential part of EEU economies and form that important structural backbone integrating research and industrial networks. In such context COIN EI / EC Services and applications are extremely relevant for SMEs in a way they can stimulate the ICT related activity for new ideas and project proposals leveraging that critical mass around COIN related domains. To this extent the objective of reinforcement of the cooperation between research teams across the EU and the integration of the European Research Area in ICT (especially in the Enlarged European Union) can benefit with COIN leveraging its network and community starting from the launch of new research initiatives in the enterprise interoperability and collaboration (and adjacent) domains.

This paper defines vision for a farm of tomorrow and adoption of knowledge management system in the farm, which still has to be designed and developed by common farms and also farms of the future. The main focus of this vision is on integration among different levels of farm management systems and on requirements designed from analyses of external drivers. They will have a big influence on farm production in the future; using knowledge management and direction on future agriculture development in crop production. The report defines three levels of farm management. The proposed architecture is based on communication of interoperable services, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), for easy integration of different levels and components of farm management. The most important decision has to be provided by decision supporting system on the farm level. New methods of knowledge management are demonstrated on  pilot models implemented on the base of Future Farm vision by the COIN project. As political consequences and conclusion is current working document Cologne agenda prepared as a basis for future activities supported by agriXchange initiative.

The main objective of an Open Agriculture Service (OAS) is to improve collaboration among farming sector. The solution will be based on currently used SaaS services platform Prefarm, which has certain limitation. Prefarm platform is currently used mainly for preparing recommendation for variable fertilisation. The solution also currently support only static collaboration relation, it is not possible to involve new users. Services, which are  being used will be expanded in several way.

Cologne declaration defines as priority support for social networking to reach consensus about future environmental, economical and social priorities of agri-food and rural strategies. Please give your opinion.  And

THE COLOGNE DECLARATION is alive document, which will be again discussed during Prague EFITA/WCCA conference. We would like ask you about active contribution. See full text on Slideshare.

The EU-funded projects FutureFarm, agriXchange and CAPIGI-network which joined together in GeoFARMatics 2010 in Cologne, Germany, from 24th-26th November 2010, recognised that agri-food and rural ICT must be an essential part of the European Digital Agenda for 2020. The process of building the Rural Knowledge Society started by the Valencia declaration helps to reduce the digital divide between rural and urban communities in Europe. However, new changes in the global food supply, growing demands on food quality and quantity, energy demands and environmental aspects introduce new demands on future knowledge management. The objective of future knowledge management should be to enable the agri-food and rural communities to react adequately to these changes. For this reason, knowledge management has to become part of the agri-food and rural production system. This requires a clear vision, which has to be based on discussions with farmers, experts, politicians and other stakeholders.
