Description du projet
L’observation de la Terre au service de l’agriculture
Les technologies d’observation de la Terre offrent des occasions uniques à l’agriculture. Le projet EO4AGRI, financé par l’UE, combinera les données d’observation satellitaire de Copernicus avec l’exploitation des services d’information géospatiale et socio-économique connexes afin d’améliorer la surveillance opérationnelle de l’agriculture, de l’échelon local à l’échelle mondiale. Le projet accompagnera la mise en œuvre de la politique agricole commune (PAC) de l’UE. Pour ce faire, il se concentrera sur la réforme de la PAC 2020, les exigences des organismes payeurs, les processus du système intégré de gestion et de contrôle et les spécifications des services agricoles axés sur les données en interaction avec les agriculteurs, les associations d’agriculteurs et l’industrie agroalimentaire. EO4AGRI étudiera l’emploi des investissements de la CE dans les services d’accès aux données et à l’information de Copernicus dans le but d’évaluer les informations ayant trait à l’utilisation des terres et aux besoins en matière de services agricoles.
Objectif
The main objective of EO4AGRI is to catalyze the evolution of the European capacity for improving operational agriculture monitoring from local to global levels based on information derived from Copernicus satellite observation data and through exploitation of associated geospatial and socio-economic information services.
EO4AGRI assists the implementation of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) with special attention to the CAP2020 reform, to requirements of Paying Agencies, and for the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) processes.
EO4AGRI works with farmers, farmer associations and agro-food industry on specifications of data-driven farming services with focus on increasing the utilization of EC investments into Copernicus Data and Information Services (DIAS).
EO4AGRI addresses global food security challenges coordinated within the G20 Global Agricultural Monitoring initiative (GEOGLAM) capitalizing on Copernicus Open Data as input to the Famine Early Warning System Network (FEW-NET).
EO4AGRI assesses information about land-use and agricultural service needs and offers to financial investors and insurances and the potential added value of fueling those services with Copernicus information.
The EO4AGRI team consists of 11 organizations, complementary in their roles and expertise, covering a good part of the value-chain with a significant relevant networking capital as documented in numerous project affiliations and the formal support declarations collected for EO4AGRI. All partners show large records of activities either in Copernicus RTD, governmental functions, or downstream service operations. The Coordinator of EO4AGRI is a major industrial player with proven capacities to lead H2020 projects.
The EO4AGRI project methodology is a combination of community building; service gap analysis; technology watch; strategic research agenda design and policy recommendations; dissemination (incl. organization of hackathons).
