Elevating Agricultural Sustainability in Europe: Satellite-based Fertilizer Recommendations for Decision Makers

Field-specific Fertilizer rate recommendations and farm-specific Fertilizer demand estimation have been a decade-old problem. Soil testing and plant tissue testing are still regarded as the most dependable solutions. However, this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. The closest alternative is the field sensors, which use the Near Infrared (NIR) light reflectance of plant leaves to estimate Fertilizer application rates.

Regenerative Agriculture: Using It to Combat Climate Change

Regenerative agriculture appears as the glimmer of hope in a world that is perilously close to entering a climatic disaster. It represents a paradigm change in farming with the goal of reviving our soil and reestablishing ecosystems. We promote sustainability by embracing no-till techniques, varied crop rotations, and combining crops with animals. These tactics increase carbon sequestration, lower emissions, and strengthen climate resilience. Let's cultivate a world reborn by sowing the seeds of a sustainable future through regenerative agriculture.
