Predicting a sustainable future: How Earth observation drives the circular transformation in the agri-food sector
The agri-food sector is currently at a critical juncture. The challenges posed by climate change, resource scarcity, and increasingly stringent regulations, such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), necessitate substantial adaptation efforts. However, the question remains: how can we navigate this intricate landscape effectively? The solution to this […]
What does AI have to do with agriculture?
One of the areas that are going through the most dramatic change in the break of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is agriculture. Today, more than ever, producers are under huge pressure to increase yields, reduce costs and grow quality products. This is not an easy task and requires dedication, hard work and investments, and the […]
Can we produce more food without sacrificing sustainability?
We live in a society which is very dependent on natural resources and the sustainability of our industrial growth is subjugated to economic interests. Humanity has recognised this problem and there are global efforts to overcome this, through international cooperation embodied in the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal and other accords, which aim to […]
Multi-Actor Approach: Co-Creating Solutions for Sustainable Agriculture
In today’s fast-changing agricultural landscape, no single expert holds all the answers. That’s where the Multi-Actor Approach (MAA) comes in. The MAA is an approach that allows the co-creation of solutions as well as the sharing of knowledge between several actors who have specialized knowledge in different areas. The NOSTRADAMUS project embraces this collaborative spirit, […]
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 […]
