The main goal of the current project is the need to support the EU Member States (MS) who have to oversee the EUDR, with an approach which can be used to help them identify and verify the crop type and geolocations that will be reported as part of the due diligence from companies dealing with …
The EO4CSM project aims to develop a methodology that can improve the national monitoring of carbon (C) sequestration of agricultural soils for the Netherlands. The methodology is based on a dynamic carbon turnover model, RothC, that will be coupled with Earth Observation (EO) data at parcel level, which provides accurate and up to date information …
The project objective is to develop robust technical approaches to demonstrate and validate the EO and other sensor-based monitoring applicability to support the European Commission’s New Common Agricultural Policy – NewCAP with special emphasis on the eco-schemes. The project will develop monitoring capabilities of Crop rotation, Fallow land, Extensive use of permanent grassland, Winter soil …
Consistent Rice Information for Sustainable Policy (CRISP) aims to scale up advanced and cost-effective Earth Observation (EO) solutions to provide information on seasonal rice planted area, growing conditions, yield forecast, and production at harvest. To achieve this objective and to ensure that the designed solution meets the needs of users, a user-oriented approach will be …
Background There is a steadily growing pressure on agriculture and the entire food system to increase the global production, while at the same time ensuring healthy, nutrient-rich products and sustainability both in the terms of sufficient income for farmers and in terms of impact on the soil and other inputs, as well as on the …
SD4EO is a study project that aims to demonstrate the benefit of using physically-based simulation data and Artificial Intelligence-based data generation tools in key thematic applications with Earth Observation data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) analytics. The project started in October 2023 and is being led by GMV NSL Ltd (UK), in partnership with the Spanish-based …
Luke joined the University of Salford in October 2022, having previously worked at the University of Southampton as a Senior Research Fellow (2021-2022), Senior Research Assistant (2018-2021), and Research Technician (2017-2018), whilst also completing a part-time PhD in Remote Sensing (2015-2021). Prior to this, he undertook an MSc in Applied Geographic Information Systems and Remote …
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 will …
Crop insurance is a key element to increase the resilience of farmers, particularly small-scale farmers in countries highly exposed to the impact of climate change. Unlike traditional crop insurance that attempts to measure individual farm yields or revenues, index insurance makes use of variables exogenous to the individual policy-holder which have a strong correlation to …
Ground Reference Observations Underlying Novel Decametric Vegetation Data Products from Earth Observation (GROUNDED EO) aims to exploit cutting-edge machine learning approaches, ground data collection capabilities, and data fusion methods to develop improved decametric vegetation biophysical products from Sentinel-2 and -3, ultimately facilitating better environmental decision making. The objectives of the project are to: Develop a …
