Method and associated system of providing agricultural pedigree for agricultural products with integrated farm equipment throughout production and distribution and use of the same for sustainable agriculture

A method for providing real-time automatically updated information regarding at least one agricultural product, the method comprising::

• a) providing an open communication network accessible information storage device adapted to receive input of data relating to at least one of the agricultural product's production, harvesting, distribution, processing and consumption, from one or more sources;
• b) maintaining, at the information storage device, a set of data corresponding to an agricultural pedigree of the at least one agricultural product;
• c) receiving, at the information storage device, one or more contemporaneous inputs from a first plurality of electronic devices over time throughout at least the production of the agricultural product, wherein the inputting includes automated contemporaneous uploading of inputs from farm equipment engaged in the production of the agricultural product;
• d) updating, at the information storage device, the agricultural pedigree of the at least one agricultural product based on the one or more contemporaneous inputs;
• e) based on the updated agricultural pedigree, calculating, at the information storage device, in real-time information regarding the agricultural product, wherein the information is calculated by applying at least one of a data-driven decision support system (DSS), a data-oriented DSS, or a model-driven DSS to the one more inputted contemporaneous inputs, wherein the calculated information is used to determine when one or more time-sensitive actions with respect to the agricultural product is required;
• f) predicting at least one sustainability measurement of the agricultural product utilizing said data and information;
• and
• g) transmitting, from the information storage device to an electronic device at least a portion of said data and information via the open communication network.

An agricultural pedigree system for at least one agricultural product comprising an open communication network accessible information storage device adapted to maintain a set of data corresponding to an agricultural pedigree of the at least one agricultural product receive from a first plurality of electronic devices input of data relating to at least one of the agricultural product's production, harvesting, distribution, processing and consumption from one or more sources and configured for one or more contemporaneous inputs into the information storage device from the first plurality of electronic devices over time throughout at least one of the production, harvesting, distribution, processing and consumption of the agricultural product, wherein the system is further configured to update the agricultural pedigree of the agricultural product based on the one or more contemporaneous inputs at the information storage device;

• calculate at the information storage device in real-time information regarding the agricultural product based on the updated agricultural pedigree, wherein the information is calculated by applying at least one of a data-driven decision support system (DSS), a data-oriented DSS, or a model-driven DSS to the one more inputted contemporaneous inputs, and wherein the calculated information is used to determine when one or more time-sensitive actions with respect to the agricultural product is required;
• and wherein the system is further configured to transmit from the information storage device to an electronic device at least a portion of said data and information via the open communication network.
