The main objective is to provide an operational methodologies and software components that combines the data from remote sensing satellites (in particular Sentinel‐1 and Sentinel‐2) that will allow to detect and monitor the grassland cutting and grazing. This tool is intended to be deployed by the National Paying Agencies (NPAs) which have the role to …
This will be an online event. The workshop is open to experts in EO for agriculture (science, commercial Service Providers, institutions) and end-users and stakeholders (International Organisations, food agencies, NGOs, agro-insurance, agro-industry, …). Its main objectives are to: Discuss the role of EO for supporting evidence-based decisions for improving food security at national to global …

The overarching goal of the WorldCereal project is to develop an open source EO solution for monitoring of global crop area extent, which can be exploited by a wide community of stakeholders involved in the agricultural sector and active over a range of scales – from national agricultural reporting, regional crop productivity management, up to …
Is the pandemic disrupting the growth and harvest of staple crops and the food supply chain? Read the full story.
In April 2019 ESA has released a White Paper on “Blockchain and Earth Observation” to define the key focus areas for the EO community to explore in the context of the Space 4.0 and future digital engineering for space missions. This publication is a second installation of the “Issue Briefs” by the ESA Blockchain / …
The project aims at advancing capabilities towards a quantitative, accurate and routine estimation of irrigation information by means of multi-mission satellite EO approaches: Irrigation mapping, quantifying the irrigation amount and detecting the seasonal timing of irrigation.
The project will perform an experimental campaign to investigate the potential of Sentinel-2 and PRISMA data to estimate and predict the concentration of different nutrients (K, P, Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, N and S) in the final agricultural production.
The SenCYF project proposes an innovative crop yield forecasting model based on Sentinel-2 data, validated with a France-wide in situ yield data set. It aims at addressing two core scientific questions: What are the performances of a nation-wide S2-based winter wheat yield estimation model at farm level? What are the performances of a nation-wide S2-based …
The World Bank’s Crisis & Disaster Risk Finance (CDRF) team is coordinating the Next Generation of Drought Index Project (NGDI) effort, through a research consortium led by IRI and including IWMI and AIR Worldwide, to catalyze transformation of insurance development. With technical support from ESA, NGDI is developing a practical framework for a set of …
