Starting from the outmost results of the previous Dragon4 (32275) initiative this new proposal intends to explore the application of Sino-EU optical data into agronomic models to predict crop performance and to monitor and forecast crop pests [...]
Monitoring water productivity in crop production areas from food security perspectives
Climate change and its subsequent implication of water availability is having a major impact on the crop production globally. Feed a growing population while minimizing water consummation for agriculture are twin challenges directly related to [...]
Remote sensing community has entered into a new era with the huge volume of satellite images at around 10 to 30 meter resolution fully and open available, including the sentinel series satellite in Europe and GF series satellite in China. These [...]
SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS FOR IMPROVING IRRIGATION WATER MANAGEMENT – SAT4IRRIWATER
The project objective is to assess high resolution irrigation water needs and crop water productivity based on the integrated use of satellite data, ground-hydro meteorological data and numerical modelling suitable for agricultural farms as well [...]
Agriculture production systems are facing unprecedented challenges from increasing demand for food for a growing population, but an intensified agriculture bares also risks for environmental pollution and unsustainable use of water resources. In [...]
