Webinar #24: Emerging opportunities in the agrifood data standards space: ISO SAG-SF, TC 347 and IWA 47 

Presenter info: R. Andres Ferreyra, PhD and Brent Kemp

Apr 21, 2025

01:00 PM - 02:00PM Central Time (US and Canada)

via Zoom (link provided upon registration)

Standards are “recipes for reality” that help people build complex systems. Standards enable testing system components for conformance to a specification and can also explain how those components should come together to build greater things. The International Organization for Standardization, ISO, has committed to placing its portfolio of 25000+ standards at the service of free trade, businesses of all sizes, and other societal stakeholders. This webinar presents how that strategy is playing out in the agriculture and food space, within groups like ISO’s SaG-SF, TC 347, and IWA 47, and how to get involved.

Presenter info: R. Andres Ferreyra, PhD. Has worked with agrifood systems data for over 30 years, working on agricultural applications of remote sensing and crop simulation modeling, and leading implementation of agricultural record-keeping, automated irrigation system management and machine data and IoT data assimilation platforms. He Is the Chair of ISO’s technical committee 347 on data-driven agrifood systems and of ISO’s international workshop on a reference architecture for data-driven agrifood systems, IWA 47. He previously co-led ISO’s Strategic Advisory Group for Smart Farming (SAG-SF) . Dr. Ferreyra is an advocate for collaboration and data standards in agriculture and food systems, a space he has been working in since 2010.
