ON-FARM APPLICATION OF OPERATIONAL INTEGRATED SATELLITE SERVICES

摘要

Earth Observation data are globally available and thusrnprovide a unique data source, which is independentrnfrom local in-situ data. There have been several researchrnprojects in the agricultural area, and also differentrnservices offered directly to farmers, with mixed results.rnOftentimes, the transition from research to practicalrnapplication fails. This has multiple reasons, but oftenrncomes down to the farmer not knowing how tornincorporate the results into his management systemrn(both a technical and a content issue).rnTalkingFields, as an integrated effort that aims atrnproviding farmers with affordable and low timeconsuming,rnend-to-end precision farming services tornincrease production efficiency, has tried to bridge thisrngap and deliver results that can easily be incorporatedrninto the farmer’s Farm Management InformationrnSystem.
