ESA – Farmers traditionally keep a close eye on their fields, but a new ESA-led project seeks to build on their vigilance with monitoring from space. The TalkingFields initiative is now showing how to combine satellite observation with satellite navigation to benefit European farmers.

For instance, by optimising farmers’ use of fertiliser and giving early warning of plant disease risks, both costs and environmental impacts can be reduced. Read More
