Join us tomorrow at the sixth EOSTAT webinar. We conclude the EOSTAT series with a session on crop field boundaries mapping. Such data is extremely useful for a variety of applications, from crop monitoring, precision farming, agricultural policy impact…lnkd.in/ex3BTFHj


Working together for global agricultural monitoring is key to ensure food security at a time of global challanges. No single solution fits all, while a participative approach only can make the difference, fill the gaps, and provide solid answers. I am hum…lnkd.in/dfF-ygzj


Within the context of crop type mapping using Earth Observations (EO), in-situ data is a fundamental input. It is required for the calibration of classification models, and for the validation of the predictions. The quality of th…lnkd.in/d7TWMCfH lnkd.in/dzZfBk8y
