The world needs to increase the efficiency of food production as the the global population expansion poses the need for more food. In fact, world food demand is expected to increase by 70% by 2050. However, at the same time, there is a need to ensure the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources while taking actions to mitigate climate change.

AgriBIT exploits heterogeneous data deriving from various sources to support professional applications of Precision Agriculture (PA). It builds upon a combination of technologies, such as Earth Observation (EO) data, Unmanned Vehicles (UVs), communication schemes, autonomous navigation methods, linked together in a unified platform using GNSS features. AgriBIT delivers operational services (i.e. three GNSS enabling services, 8 PA GNSS enabled services), one high precision and affordable GNSS receiver, collaboration services like Big Data Analytics API and Precision Agriculture API and a fully open approach.
