EO4agri Final Day2

What: This is the second part of the final workshop of EO4agri. There are two sessions of around 1.5 hours each. This second section is focused on the EO4AGRI Strategic Research Agenda and Roadmap that are based on the information gathered on the methodology, user requirements, and gap analysis processes developed during the project. A whitepaper on Earth Observation for Agriculture Strategy and the Green Deal will also be presented See DAY 1 here

Why now: This is the final workshop of the EO4AGRI project, which is planned as an open meeting to present the final EO4AGRI Strategic Research Agenda and recommended Roadmap towards improving the European capacity for operational agriculture monitoring based on information derived from Copernicus satellite observation data and through the exploitation of associated geospatial and socio-economic information services.

Who (is the webinar for): mainly policymakers, public administrations, etc, but also of interest for students, researchers, scientists interested in what the future might bring of opportunities in Earth observations in agriculture
