Geospatial Related Projects

This page will act as an active contributor to sharing and dissemination of Geospatial Related Projects.
For the beginning, there is an ERASMUS+ KA2 project called SMART FARMING, where I participate in as Senior Researcher.

 It is my privilege to be a member of this important project and consortium.

SMART FARMING


 SMART FARMING project

In 2017, ISA Lille was awarded an Erasmus+ Key Action 02 grant for a project on Smart Farming (Precision Agriculture) and new technologies. This three-year program (2017-2019) focuses on cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices at the European level. 

What is Smart Farming?

Smart Farming, or Precision agriculture (PA), is a way to “apply the right treatment at the right place at the right time” (Gebbers and Adamchuk, 2010). It can be defined as the use of sensing technology in order to optimize farms and agricultural activities, in crops or livestock, through the wide analysis and capitalization of collected data. The main goal of this technique is to rationalize the use of inputs (phytopharmaceuticals, fertilizers, petrol,…) thanks to sensors or analysis of data such as weather data, soil-mapping or crop yields, and by relying on the precision of modern and highly efficient position systems (GPS, RTK,…) and the modularity of today’s agricultural tools.
