How can Earth Observation technologies advance Sustainable Agricultural Development?
Join us to hear from keynote speakers on the why, how and what of the role of earth observation technologies in achieving sustainability and net zero targets in agriculture. We'll also be hosting a couple of discussion sessions in the afternoon, along with interactive poster and exhibition time over lunch.
Our speakers will be discussing the practical industry drivers for sustainable agricultural development, and how earth observation tools can be used to monitor sustainability indicators, incentivise change, and inform on-farm decisions. We'll also be showcasing a case study example of the co-development of continuous, large scale earth observation monitoring tools like ENVISION.
The event will be of interest to: earth observation technology developers and service providers, regulatory authorities, private incentivisation scheme providers, certification bodies, assurance schemes, farmers, advisors and researchers of sustainable agriculture. Use the chance to share your work, learn from others, and be a part of shaping the future of sustainable agriculture.
