e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

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.

Title

Agricultural policy and law as reflected by Websites of Czech organic farmers

en
Abstract

European integration is inseparably linked to the Common Agricultural Policy ("CAP") and information technologies ("IS/IT"). The growth strategy Europe 2020 encourages the EU to become a smart, sustainable and inclusive place where innovation supports inclusion, even within the sphere of agriculture and CAP addresses, farmers. Czech organic farmers and their Websites were tested in 2014 and in 2015 to assess their commitment to the Agricultural policy and law in the light of the recent scientific literature. The assessment of data was done while focusing on the attitude of Czech organic farmers and their Websites and how they reflect the agricultural policy and law. A battery of qualitative as well quantitative strategies was employed, along with Meta-Analysis processing. The evaluation was performed from various angles, relying on quantitative, rather than qualitative, methods, more on induction than deduction attempting to move to scientific objectification. The selected criteria targeted the domain names and Websites' content and interconnectivity, friendliness and the capacity to carry out various policies and tasks. Hypotheses were tested and casuistic observations were added. The result offers new insights in the unjustly underplayed arena, with a strong potential to contribute to a flourishing agribusiness. Although the semi-conclusions are yielded from a micro-sample, their homogeneity, direct feedback and back-up by published data suggest that Czech organic farmers understand the CAP and IS/IT, but they remain non-committal. Their Websites suggest their awareness about Agricultural policy and law and IS/IT and their low interest to get actively engaged. Due to the restricted sample, a further search and studies need to be done to analyze this asymmetry and to correct it to enhance the efficiency of the partnership between the EU and its farmers.
