Abstract

The protein-I project is a cross Ireland initiative that takes a food systems approach to enhancing the sustainability of protein production across the island of Ireland, as part of the protein-I project, this study aims to produce a smart agricultural supply chain solution. There is a need for the requirements of the system to be tailored for the specific use case, agriculture on the island of Ireland is different from agriculture in other parts of the world. The average size of a farm in the Republic of Ireland is 32.4 ha [8], compare this to Australia where the average is 4,331 ha [7], therefore farm practices in Australia will be different. To develop a solution that is catered to the needs of the Agri-food sector on the island of Ireland this study gathered requirements from a series of workshops and interviews with stakeholders. Several use cases were presented by the stakeholders to identify the deficiencies in the current supply chain, and to address these challenges, a custom solution has been designed and implemented.
