Summary

Recommendation ITU-T Y.2246 provides a reference architecture and service requirements for smart farming education. It focuses on the farming education service about farming knowledge which includes farming technology, farming skills, farmers' experiences and their know-how, etc. The information related to farming knowledge will reflect current activities, farming products and the experience of farmers in the field. The core component of the automation process is the creation of a data store that will be a repository for this information. The farming sector will benefit immensely from the implementation of farming data in a farming contents repository which will serve as a knowledge base for the automation process. This Recommendation also discusses how this service may be used to develop a knowledge base intended to benefit those involved in the farming sector.
