Combined Use of EGNSS and Copernicus Data to Develop Innovative Downstream Services for the Users from Chile and Colombia

Project description

Growing Chile and Colombia’s agriculture from space

Chile and Colombia rely on their significant agricultural production. Copernicus plays a vital role in assessing crop conditions, providing yield forecasts, and managing farms and irrigation. The EU-funded COMUNIDAD project aims to harness Copernicus data for agricultural, forestry, and rural development purposes in Chile and Colombia. It will develop solutions that integrate data from various sources on the COMUNIDAD platform. This platform will incorporate EU-space-based applications and Copernicus data usage, and it will devise algorithms, and products tailored to local users. Moreover, the project will pilot applications directly involving regional end-users, decision-makers, and support organisations. This approach will bring added value by fostering the development of new markets, facilitating information sharing, and enhancing transparency.

Objective

COMUNIDAD aims at developing, testing, and implementing a framework that will make use of Copernicus data from agriculture, forestry and rural development in Chile and Colombia. It will develop solutions integrated on the COMUNIDAD platform with different sources of data. The COMUNIDAD Platform will be important base for the use of EGNSS and sharing of expertise with public and private entities from the target countries to introduce EU-space based applications and to use of Copernicus data, to develop jointly algorithms, services and products, which serve local user needs. The interaction with each Pilot Application in Chile and Colombia will feed to long-term policy strategy development, aiming at bringing about the transition into the new paradigm of sustainable agriculture and forestry growth. The combined use of EGNSS and Copernicus to develop innovative downstream applications combining positing navigation and timing with Earth observation services will be an essential part of the COMUNIDAD development through pilot applications in Chile and Colombia with the direct involvement of regional end users, decision makers and support organisations. This approach is not only demonstrating the possibilities of potential transfer of the results and addressing the potential barriers, but as well introducing the added value for developing new markets, information sharing, open access and transparency. The platform is combining existing components and services for new target regions where potential for utilization is expected.
The COMUNIDAD will address 4 main Scientific Objectives via 6 WPs. The cooperation of 9 partners is envisaged, from them 5 are from Chile and Colombia and 4 from EU.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)
