Smart Energy Management for Sustainable Agriculture: Integrating Efficiency and Sustainability
Over the past three decades it has become increasingly evident that farming and food systems need fundamental transformations to enable pathways towards sustainability. The global community is becoming increasingly concerned about the high dependence of the global food sector on fossil fuels.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
The Internet of Things refers to a network of physical devices—from weather sensors and soil monitors to drones and GPS trackers—that are embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity. These devices collect and exchange data with each other and with central systems, often in real time. In everyday life, this could mean a smart thermostat in […]
What Are Data Cubes — And Why They Matter for Smart Agriculture
In a world increasingly driven by data, especially in agriculture and climate action, Data Cubes (DCs) are becoming a powerful way to transform how we manage, analyse, and use Earth Observation (EO) data. But what exactly are they — and why do they matter for the Nostradamus project? What Is a Data Cube? A Data […]
Climatic drivers of vegetation trends across Europe
Vegetation growth and phenology are strongly influenced by climatic conditions. Particularly in Southern Europe, significant impacts of climate change on vegetation are expected in the future. Monitoring and analysing on-going vegetation trends and their climatic drivers can help to understand possible impacts of climate change on vegetation. Remote sensing has become a standard in monitoring […]
Why We Need Earth Observation: A Key to Smarter, Sustainable Agriculture
In an era marked by climate uncertainty, rapid population growth, and increasing pressure on natural resources, our ability to make informed decisions about the land has never been more crucial. This is where Earth Observation (EO) comes in—offering us a powerful lens to monitor, understand, and respond to what’s happening on the ground. What is […]
Why “Nostradamus”? The Meaning Behind the Name of Our Project
At first glance, the name Nostradamus may evoke images of the famous 16th-century seer known for his cryptic prophecies. But for our Horizon Europe project, the name represents something even more powerful and relevant to today’s world—the ability to anticipate the future through knowledge, data, and collaboration. In the Nostradamus project, we don’t deal in […]
