Bringing Farmers to the Market with 3-Reforms and 3-platform Technologies Asanee

摘要

In order to ensure long lasting solution of agricultural economy, not only Land Reform is needed. It must be accompanied by supplementary reforms, i.e., Farmer Reform and Management Reform. With the Land Reform, the farmers could cultivate their own land which is the most important factor of production. With Farmer Reform, the productivity of farming could be improved by the skilled and knowledgeable farmers. With Management Reform, agricultural efficiency both in production and delivery to the market could be improved with cost reduction and fare trade. This work, then, proposes three-platforms technologies : 1) A wireless sensor network for controlling and monitoring the Agricultural Environment such as Humidity, Soil Moisture, Soil Nutrient N-P-K, Water Quality, and etc. 2) CyberBrain which is a framework that combines Knowledge Engineering, Information and Communication technologies to provide the effective knowledge service for supporting the farmers in problem-solving, decision making and early warning, and 3) e-community for changing the model of "Training and Visit" to be the Second Life in the Virtual space and changing the collective to be the cooperative problem solving.
