They’re villains who are nothing more than narrative devices to push the story toward conflict.ĭespite poor characters, I enjoyed some of the thematic moments of the episode, including its juxtaposition between freedom and oppression. Two antagonists who run the weed farm are problematic as well, fitting neatly into their cruel archetypes without offering anything more substantial. They are a group of dreadlocked young adults with tragic backstories who follow alternative lifestyles, but they come across superficial rather than deep. I continue to care deeply for Sean and Daniel, but their new hippie friends are forgettable, predictable, and painfully stereotypical. The minigame isn’t interesting, and the chatter from other characters during it is equally mundane. That last chore is performed through a minigame where you perform timed button presses to continue onto the next plant. You spend most of your time doing painfully boring tasks washing dishes, carrying water tanks, and trimming marijuana buds. The setting, which takes place in a Californian forest and on a weed farm, is much more interesting than the events that occur within it. Unfortunately, the middle parts of the episode aren’t as compelling. The flashback does a good job of showing some of the roots of the boys’ relationship, giving the impression that their core bond can overcome anything. I enjoyed trying to make amends with Daniel after treating him unfairly, as well as understanding the weight Sean bears by acting as a second parent after their mother’s departure. It starts off on a good foot, with a flashback taking place three months prior to the incident that led the brothers to flee home. However, the road to that end is sloppy and forgettable. Your decisions, particularly how you interact with Daniel, have been crucial this whole journey, and this episode is a fascinating culmination of the web of choices with a thrilling conclusion. Among the hippies, Sean is discovering more about himself, and his younger brother resents him for it. While the last episode focused on harnessing control over Daniel’s telekinesis power, this episode is more about embracing freedom and individuality. It’s a wild premise, but new characters are boxed-in stereotypes and the episode struggles with poor pacing. This episode continues following the ups and downs of their bond as the boys take refuge at a hippie camp and marijuana farm. From a socio-economic perspective, the authors propose to give research priority to organizational issues concerning governance issues and suitable business models for data sharing in different supply chain scenarios.On their way toward Mexico, brothers Sean and Daniel have had harrowing experiences change their lives and complicate their relationship. The further development of data and application infrastructures (platforms and standards) and their institutional embedment will play a crucial role in the battle between these scenarios. The future of Smart Farming may unravel in a continuum of two extreme scenarios: 1) closed, proprietary systems in which the farmer is part of a highly integrated food supply chain or 2) open, collaborative systems in which the farmer and every other stakeholder in the chain network is flexible in choosing business partners as well for the technology as for the food production side. At the same time there are several public institutions that publish open data, under the condition that the privacy of persons must be guaranteed. The landscape of stakeholders exhibits an interesting game between powerful tech companies, venture capitalists and often small start-ups and new entrants.
Several authors therefore suggest that Big Data will cause major shifts in roles and power relations among different players in current food supply chain networks. Big data are being used to provide predictive insights in farming operations, drive real-time operational decisions, and redesign business processes for game-changing business models.
The review shows that the scope of Big Data applications in Smart Farming goes beyond primary production it is influencing the entire food supply chain.
Following a structured approach, a conceptual framework for analysis was developed that can also be used for future studies on this topic. This review aims to gain insight into the state-of-the-art of Big Data applications in Smart Farming and identify the related socio-economic challenges to be addressed. This is encompassed by the phenomenon of Big Data, massive volumes of data with a wide variety that can be captured, analysed and used for decision-making. New technologies such as the Internet of Things and Cloud Computing are expected to leverage this development and introduce more robots and artificial intelligence in farming. Smart Farming is a development that emphasizes the use of information and communication technology in the cyber-physical farm management cycle.
