EC-ESA JOINT EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE INITIATIVE

November 22, 2023 - November 24, 2023
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

In the next decades, population growth is expected to amplify current pressures on critical resources such as fresh water or food, intensify the stress on land and marine ecosystems and increase environmental pollution and its impacts on health and biodiversity. Global warming and the increasing impacts of climate change, especially on most vulnerable populations, will …

EO4Cerealstress – Theme 3: Crop response to multiple stressors

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON (GB)

Despite advances in agricultural production, approximately 800 million people around the globe still face severe food insecurity. Biotic and abiotic agricultural stressors reduce and limit productivity (e.g., yield reduction) and ecosystem services (e.g., loss of carbon sequestration). These devastating impacts are increased by climate change, particularly by frequent and stronger extreme weather events.   EO4Cerealstress …

Measuring nutrition in crops from space

With over a quarter of the global population suffering from malnutrition due to nutrient deficiencies, the need to enhance the nutritional value of staple crops like rice, wheat, and soybeans is paramount. ESA-supported research has revealed that data from satellites like the Copernicus Sentinel-2 and the Italian Prisma mission could be used for monitoring nutrient …
