The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.
This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

The aim of this study was to map and measure South Ostrobothnian milk producers' current resources, need for resources, and preconditions for cooperation as well as how they cooperate. The authors explored different operational models for cooperation and contract work. The data were collected from databanks and through interviews. The research data from databanks were collected from 311 farms and 218 dairy farmers of these farms were interviewed. The statistical analyses were based on cross-tabulations, chi(2)-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, Kruskall-Wallis tests and Pearson's correlation analysis. The results indicate that milk producers can develop their business activities by cooperating at different scopes. Cooperation will provide new opportunities to gain a competitive edge. Economies of scale can be gained, unit costs can be reduced, and risks can be shared by cooperation. Milk producers developing their business activities need resources, of which arable land is the most limited one. Options to solve this challenge include cooperation, e.g. with crop farmers on the spreading of manure and crop rotations. On milk farms, focusing on core knowledge, outsourcing, networking, and other alliances is becoming a part of strategic thinking.
