Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

The EU's Green Deal targets emphasize data-driven decision-making in agriculture to promote competitiveness and sustainability, yet a significant gap exists in detailed information at scale. Agricultural sensors, which capture vital information about crop and environmental conditions, are an underutilized resource. By integrating these sensor data with other sources like satellite data, regional agri-environmental monitoring capabilities can be enhanced, requiring a shift in monitoring systems and data governance.
ScaleAgData aims to explore how data streams should be governed to benefit all stakeholders, especially farmers, and how these data can be integrated into regional monitoring datasets. Innovations in sensor technology, edge computing, data analytics, and new EO-based products will be co-designed and tested in six Research and Innovation Labs (RI labs) across Europe. Each RI lab focuses on a specific theme: Water Productivity, Crop Management, Yield Monitoring, Soil Health, Grasslands, and Dairy. This thematic diversity enables the collection of sensor data across a broad range of environmental conditions, covering soil, water, air, and living organisms. Improved data products will be available for evaluation and co-design processes, considering both widely monitored crops like wheat and lesser-monitored ones like medicinal plants and quinoa. These RI labs will evaluate the usability and regional transferability of the innovations.
