Farmers in the 21st century are called upon to strive towards efficient productivity while simultaneously reducing their environmental impact. They can exploit a range of data – from Earth Observation satellites to drones or ground-based sensors in order to help guide
the application of appropriate amounts of farming inputs (fertilisers, pesticides, water) at a precise time and/or location.
These Variable Rate Application (VRA) solutions are today an integral component of modern agricultural techniques. Thanks to the free, full and open access to Copernicus Sentinel data, VRA-enabling services are steadily proliferating across Europe. An example of such a service in Poland is SatAgro. Recently, Poland has become a leading producer and exporter of a range of horticultural as well as commodity crops.
Thanks to Sentinel-2 data, SatAgro allows Polish farmers to increase their yield and productivity, while reducing their impact on the environment.
