3. Demonstrate how scientific communities working
on agriculture and food topics may carry out rapid
and intuitive development and deployment of
innovative applications and workflows, powered
by open e-infrastructures.
Strengthen and illustrate the value and potential
of AGINFRA+ as a virtual research environment for
the domain of agriculture and food.
The AGINFRA+ Vision
EOSC-hub week 2018

4. Identify the requirements of the specific scientific and technical
communities working in the targeted areas;
Design and implement components that serve such requirements, by
exploiting, adapting and extending existing open e-infrastructures
(namely, OpenAIRE, EUDAT, EGI, and D4Science), where required;
Define or extend standards facilitating interoperability, reuse, and
repurposing of components in the wider context of AGINFRA+;
Establish mechanisms for documenting and sharing data,
mathematical models, methods and components for the selected
application areas
The AGINFRA+ Vision: What?

8. Agro-climatic & Economic Modelling
AGINFRA+ will help the discovery, reuse and exploitation of heterogeneous data
sources towards producing multi-model, multi-crop and multi-location simulation
ensembles that will be linked to multi-climate scenarios to perform consistent
simulations of future climate change effects.
Food Safety Risk Assessment
AGINFRA+ will support data-intensive applications powered by the FoodRisk-Labs suite
of software tools, including the extension of their capabilities to handle large-scale
datasets, to visualize complex data, mathematical models as well as simulation results
and to deploy generated data processing workflows as web-based services.
Food Security
AGINFRA+ will help to alleviate the big data challenges pertaining to specific problems
on food security, namely the need to efficiently analyse data produced by plant
phenotyping and its correlation with crop yield, resource usage, local climates etc.
Pilot Communities in brief
EOSC-hub week 2018

9.  Build on top of the AGINFRA+ infrastructure
 Implement the eROSA roadmap
 Run pilots in larger scale based on the
selected use cases across the Food System
 Show case the operational mode of EOSC
(e.g. a thematic EOSC marketplace for cloud
& data services)
 Would focus on the H2020 DT-SFS-26-2019:
Food Cloud demonstrators [Deadline: 23/1/2019]
An AGINFRA Cloud (2020-2022)
