Abstract

The EO4Agri Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) is a set of recommendations for future research activities in the area of Earth observation for agriculture. The EO4AGRI project provides support to all agri-food sectors based on new uses of COPERNICUS data. At first, part of the deliverable collected user needs from previous work are summarised including gaps in data, delivery platforms and knowledge management. Another input was an analysis of the current political framework and its influence on future agriculture. The implementation of the European Green Deal and the UN Sustainable Development Goals will require future collaboration of the public and private sectors. The main part of the SRA is a list of recommendations for future activities in the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), Horizon Europe (Annex 4 and Annex 6) and the Digital Europe programmes. It is not a revision of these programmes, but additional recommendations or tasks which are important to consider in updating the future programmes.

Highlights

  • Agriculture comprises vital economic sectors producing food, agro-industrial feedstock and energy and provides environmental services through managing soil, water, air and biodiversity holistically [1]

  • Focusing on food quality and safety could be contradictory with requests for increasing production due to the growing population

  • Even without the full information from LPIS, it is possible to generate valuable training data made of pixels associated with crops and a generic set of features to stimulate the development of new machine learning techniques

Summary

Introduction

Agriculture comprises vital economic sectors producing food, agro-industrial feedstock and energy and provides environmental services through managing soil, water, air and biodiversity holistically [1]. Focusing on food quality and safety could be contradictory with requests for increasing production due to the growing population It is with increasing production and requests on the production of bioenergy. We need increased quality and safety and it will be connected with a decreasing number of chemical inputs. These drivers will bring requirements for decreasing the consumption of energy and water
