The Linux Foundation is undertaking the massive task of assigning farm fields with a GeoID to enable a new digital infrastructure. . Food sustains all of us, yet the information systems that support our food supply are 100 years old — if not older. The Linux Foundation plans to change that with its AgStack Project, said Sumar Johal, who is the executive director of the initiative. AgStack will create a common, neutral and open digital infrastructure , which can “in turn enable content creation and consumption at scale in the agricultural ecosystem,” Johal added. “The systems in place for our food supply are antiquated,” Johal told The New Stack. “Half of the world’s population is employed in agriculture; 70% of our freshwater is consumed in agriculture. It’s a very, very important ecosystem, with this constellation of stakeholders in different industries that comprise the agriculture ecosystem.” .

White House cybersecurity adviser Howard Schmidt will step down from his post at the end of the month. The move comes only two months after Richard Clarke resigned as special adviser to the president for cyberspace security, shortly after the release of the Bush administration's strategy to secure cyberspace. Security analysts and vendors worry that cybersecurity is less of a priority for the federal government and that there will be no single administration official focused on getting the private and public sectors working together to secure the nation's digital infrastructure. "It's a revolving door at the top," says Pete Lindstrom, research director at Spire Security. "Is that indicative of the lack of authority of the position?" The top cybersecurity official in the administration after Schmidt's expected departure will be Robert Liscouski. As assistant secretary of infrastructure protection at the Homeland Security Department, Liscouski has responsibility for securing both the country's physical and digital infrastructures.
