Engaging farmers into open innovation: solutions and challenges from a first intensive workshop. Dantan, J., Rizzo, D., Fourati, F., Dubois, M., & Jaber, M. PLOS ONE. abstract bibtex This article aims to characterize the innovation processes that are changing the way of farming, with a focus on the emergence of recent farming innovations such as farming digitalization, which is considered to require high skills in new technologies such as digital machine control, embedded sensors, big data management, etc. Current solutions, such as service providers, seem to be unsatisfactory to the farmers. Indeed, the farmers’ participation in the innovation process and the technology customization on their needs appear to be quite limited. Furthermore, the proposed solutions do not fully suit the local heterogeneous agricultural needs, and farmers are rather considered as end-user more than innovation actors, which would promote their autonomy. Finally, farmers’ participatory control on data, knowledge sharing and decision support is then low. We have explored the construction of solutions around farmers' questions about the culture of knowledge sharing. To tackle such challenges, UniLaSalle has built the AgriLab® platform, which is, among others, a rapid prototyping platform in digital technologies and in agro-equipment. In this context, UniLaSalle organized its first bootcamp – a two and a half day intensive participative workshop involving 6 voluntary farmers, 39 students in agronomy, 10 coaches and experts – about the internet of things (IoT) in smart farming. The farmers were prompted to address their main current need for the farming management, namely by exploring the use of connected sensors to improve the monitoring of physical environmental variables and to better inform their decision-making. Four open source projects of connected sensors have been made by and for farmers with both their specification draft and implementation: potato stocks quality monitoring, remaining quantity of food in poultry food storage silos monitoring, early lettuce rot detecting and soil moisture monitoring to both manage flax sowing and monitor potatoes vegetation. Developed solutions have been prototyped and tested in simulated environment and almost finalized.
