“…Most recently, Abeysiriwardana et al [42] recommended a connected lab complex (labeled Smart Lab Bubble) in order to leverage researchers to contribute impactful outcomes for the agriculture sector in a disconnected society due to emerging crisis such as the pandemic COVID-19. They favour the nurturing of a "society-friendly innovative research culture" in which technological sciences lay at the core, supported by non-technological sciences (e.g.…”

In response to climate, biodiversity, environmental, economic and social challenges to rural and peri-urban areas, an emergent type of living labs (LLs) has been developed: the ‘Agro Living Labs (ALLs)’. Various EU initiatives (e.g. the European Green Deal, the New European Bauhaus, the Farm to Fork strategy, the Biodiversity strategy) as well as the UN 2030 Agenda, highlight the need to direct towards agroecology. ALLs is a relatively new but very promising approach in agroecology practices. However, more practice-oriented research is needed to better understand how ALLs can help to effectively implement open and user-oriented innovations, to stimulate collaboration between different stakeholders in the community, to trigger cross-sectoral alliances and to build inclusive societies. This study aims to initiate a discussion around key elements of the ‘living lab way of working’ in agroecological food systems. Several scholars converge that we need to shed light upon particular approaches, methods, techniques, and tools that are used in real-life contexts to understand the opportunities offered by ALLs to peri-urban and rural areas. The authors suggest that ALLs, as Co-creating, Agroecological, Socio-Technical (CAST) systems, can help to address food systems crises, and to promote sustainability, integrity, equity, inclusiveness, resilience, circularity and productivity.

“…Ex: Tools that optimize management of natural resources, warn of food-security threats, and assist pest control Sridhar et al ( 2022 ) 2 Remotely managed equipment did not receive much attention and was not used very much in agriculture Remotely used equipments such as drones, robots, and satellites are frequently used to do field work such as applying fertilizers, providing information about crop systems, etc. Alexandrova Stefanova et al ( 2021 ), Hafeez et al ( 2022 ) 3 Digital interventions that deal with smooth communication practices and having 360-degree performance evaluations were not sought very much However, with increased remote communication, workplaces that work around the clock in virtual environments were mushroomed and much depend on smooth communication practices having 360-degree performance evaluations Abeysiriwardana et al ( 2022a ) 4 The linking of smart cities and smart villages to remove the digital divide in agricultural communities was discussed comparatively less intensely Increased attention has been shown to linking smart cities and smart villages to remove the digital divide in agriculture communities to maintain sustainable agriculture for all Stojanova et al ( 2021 ) …”

Intelligently driven performance management: an enabler of real-time research forecasting for innovative commercial agriculture

Research in commercial agriculture is instrumental to achieve the targets set under the second Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), i.e., ‘Zero Hunger by 2030.’ Execution of research for the success of commercial agriculture becomes a tedious task and research organizations have been long struggling to assess their performance unequivocally in the face of COVID-19. Any evacuation plan in place to improve the performance, monitoring, and evaluation of a research institute must guarantee that the institute is on the right momentum and let it evades metrics-obsessed research drives during this pandemic. A survey was conducted through the participation of the topmost administrators attached to key research institutes working on agriculture in Sri Lanka to explore the current performance management practices deeply. The conclusions derived from a thematic analysis of the survey data were used to propose a set of solutions that facilitate a well-thought research agenda in a digitally transformed performance management system. The solutions imply that intelligently driven key performance measurements worked by artificial intelligence and big data could be used with policy innovations to support research integrity and assessment security within the coexistence of humans and machines for the well-being of research development in the commercial agriculture sector.

“…Technology undoubtedly influences these roles, so every agrarian needs to adapt due to agricultural technology [4]. Besides, in the new standard era after the pandemic, the requirements of working in space together are needed [5,6]. Start-up technology provided the concept of real-time connection with working together, sometimes also in different places and times.…”

Several sectors, including technology, influence the need for food to date. Global heating conditions also impact the existing food system since poor agricultural conditions reduce farm product output and increase famine risk. As cybernated start-ups develop, it enables multiple parties to develop start-ups in farming and food sectors. This study aims to develop a self-agriculture and food start-up app based on Android OS. This application allows each user to prepare and commercialise food items autonomously. The system is intended to encourage individuals to perform tasks such as cultivating and selling harvests, purchasing dietary commodities, and monitoring current microclimate circumstances.
