Abstract
Precision agriculture (PA) technology used by growers can be an intimidating [1], complex [2] and at times frustrating [3] tool. In this paper we propose a high-level information architecture for the BC Tree Fruit industry to support 800 growers operating orchards that generate about $130 million in wholesale revenue and contribute $900 million in economic activity, directly employing about 1,500 persons per year <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> . The initial concept we propose involves: (1) design of a highlevel information system (IS) prototype to facilitate replacing the recording of records on paper and in-home databases with unified digital records; (2) design a digital database with appropriate access controls to facilitate appropriate data ownership; (3) a reporting system design consisting of a decision support system (DSS) or a system-of-systems (SoS), including business intelligence systems (BIs). By facilitating greater adoption of PA technologies growers can realize benefits including lowered costs [3] and the ability to adapt more readily to environmental conditions through water savings [4]. Additionally, by implementing this solution with industry partners in BC costs and knowledge can be shared.
