2016 IC food conference map

  • Do you create or utilize data about environment, ag, food, diet or health? Wish you could exchange that data with others more effectively?
  • Or are you involved in informatics, ontology building, semantic web applications, or Big Data research?  Want to help develop the nascent field of Food Systems, Food, and Health Informatics?


LEARN FROM & NETWORK WITH:

  • Keynote Secretary Karen Ross, California Department of Food & Agriculture
  • Executives from Mars, Google, Bayer Crop Science, DSM, Givaudan, and others about the value of a coordinated data system for linking Environment, Ag, Food, Diet, and Health
  • USDA NIFA Deputy Director Parag Chitnis about their vision for Big Data in Ag and Food
  • International food ontology developers and data managers: FAO, USDA, Bioversity International, Wikidata, and others, about existing assets, gaps, and how to align efforts and link to their data repositories
  • A variety of other experts and new and emerging food and ag business models functioning along the Environment⇔Ag⇔Food⇔Diet⇔Health knowledge spectrum 


CONTRIBUTE YOUR EXPERTISE: In particular, we’re looking for both domain and informatics experts to help build the semantic conceptual frameworks for including their research areas into the internet of food.
 

DISCOVER new technologies and business models that can be built on the Internet of Food infrastructure being coordinated by IC-FOODS@UC Davis.
