This document provides an overview of the IoF2020 project, which aims to foster large-scale adoption of IoT technologies in European farming and food production. The project objectives are to (1) demonstrate IoT's business value across various farming and food applications, (2) integrate and reuse available IoT technologies through open standards, and (3) ensure user acceptability by addressing needs like security, privacy and trust. A lean multi-actor approach will be used to conduct trials of IoT use cases in areas like arable, vegetables and dairy farming. The project aims to establish an IoT ecosystem to support large-scale adoption beyond the lifetime of the project.

2. PROJECT
OBJECTIVES
To foster a large-scale take-up of IoT in the European
farming and food production
O1 To demonstrate the business case of IoT for a large
number of application areas in farming and food
O2 To integrate and reuse available IoT technologies by
exploiting open architectures and standards
O3 To ensure user acceptability of IoT solutions in
farming and food by addressing user needs, including
security, privacy and trust
O4 To ensure the sustainability of IoT solutions beyond
the project by validating the related business models and
setting up an IoT Ecosystem for large scale take-up
