Imagine having a high-tech eye in the sky that tells you exactly how your crops are doing and where the snow is melting. This project combines GPS-like precision with satellite imagery to create a digital map for farmers and foresters. It's like giving land managers a real-time health check of their entire property from space.
Farmers and forest managers in Chile and Colombia lack integrated, high-precision data to optimize crop health and land use. This leads to inefficiencies in resource allocation and difficulty in monitoring environmental changes like snow coverage.
A digital platform integrating Copernicus and EGNSS data, including an advanced snow-coverage algorithm and a full functional infrastructure for regional monitoring.
If you are a coffee producer dealing with unpredictable crop health and land use efficiency — this project developed a platform using Copernicus and EGNSS data that provides actionable insights to boost productivity and sustainability.
If you are a public agency dealing with snowmelt tracking in the Aysén region — this project developed an advanced algorithm and coverage map that identifies total snow and non-snow areas for better water planning.
If you are a forestry firm dealing with conservation requirements and land management — this project developed a data-sharing infrastructure that uses remote sensing to monitor forest health and land use.
Based on available project data, the project follows an open-source approach in development, but specific pricing for commercial services is not mentioned.
Yes, one of the specific objectives (SO3) is to define possibilities for wider promotion and use of the platform in further countries.
The project utilizes an open-source approach to development to ensure technological advancements lead to practical applications.
The platform integrates EGNSS (positioning, navigation, and timing) with Copernicus Earth observation services to create downstream applications.
The project period runs from 2024-03-01 to 2026-02-28.
The consortium is composed of 8 partners across 5 countries, showing a strong international bridge between Europe (CZ, ES, LV) and Latin America (CL, CO). With a 25% industry ratio (2 companies, including 2 SMEs), the group balances academic research (3 universities, 1 research center) with practical implementation, led by a Czech SME specializing in agriculture and forestry technology.
