Project description
Innovative real-time pest surveillance system
Crop protection is vital for farmers, especially with the European Commission’s goals of reducing pesticide use and effectively managing priority plant pest outbreaks. The EU-funded STELLA project aims to establish a real-time pest surveillance system comprised of three subsystems. The first is an early warning system that uses forecasting models and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. The second is a pest detection system that uses drones, satellites, and a smartphone application. The third provides data-driven recommendations for containment and counteractive measures. The project will test the system in six use-case pilots across five countries, addressing eight different diseases. Additionally, STELLA will develop a networking strategy to leverage existing knowledge and foster collaboration with stakeholders.
Objective
STELLA will develop a real time pest surveillance system. The system will consist of 3 subsystems: 1) an early warning system using novel forecasting models and IoT sensors, 2) a pest detection system using drones, satellites, and a smartphone application, and 3) a pest response system providing data-driven recommendations for containment and counteractive measures. The system will be tested in 6 Use Case Pilots across 5 countries, covering 8 various diseases of importance to the EU. Capacity building activities will be developed with a focus on providing training, education, and resources to farmers, agronomists, and other stakeholders involved in crop protection. These activities will aim to equip stakeholders with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively use the STELLA system and implement environmentally friendly crop protection alternatives. Policy recommendations generated by the project will aim to support the European Commission's goals of reducing pesticide use and managing priority plant pest outbreaks. The recommendations will be based on the data and insights gathered through the early warning, detection, and response system. A networking strategy will be developed to leverage existing knowledge and enable links with relevant organisations, networks, projects, and initiatives. Collaborating with stakeholders as well as other projects will provide opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from others' experiences.
