Dear colleagues and Sen4CAP users,
Oral and poster abstracts are now invited for the Living Planet Symposium which will take place from the 23-27 May 2022 in Bonn, Germany.
Consider to submit your latest research on the different agricultural research aspects to the A3.04 Agriculture session (Methods and Algorithms, Science, Applications and Policy. Several agricultural sessions could be planned, depending on the amount and thematic focus on submitted abstracts.
Please submit your short abstracts (300-1500 words) by this Friday 26.11. here, selecting the Agriculture session:
-
A3.04 Agriculture – Methods and Algorithms, Science, Applications and Policy
The advent of the unprecedented observations collected by the Sentinel satellite family allow for monitoring of the full agricultural dynamics at national scale down to the single fields. In particular, the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 missions can provide dynamic information on crop area estimates, crop type and agricultural practices in a timely fashion at field scale. Such observations combined with other missions such as Landsat and new commercial satellite constellations sparked new research and application developments ranging from precision agriculture to food security early warning systems. Relevant topics for this range of sessions include innovative algorithms and applications addressing challenges related to water productivity, monitoring of agricultural practices, irrigation management, fertilizer and crop protection optimization, impact assessment of crop diseases and natural hazards, crop yield estimations and forecasts and agricultural statistics. A particular focus will be to provide the status of EO-based application developments addressing Agriculture-related policies. EO products/services can be linked to many different agri-policies (e.g. EC Farm-to-Fork related and the new CAP) and support numerous processes such as water management, ecoscheme monitoring, carbon uptake, grass mowing practices, regenerative agriculture policies and biodiversity, no-tillage and crop rotation.
