Agriculture

The use of Galileo and EGNOS for agriculture can help farmers become more efficient, reduce their use of chemicals and increase crop yields. By increasing the accuracy, availability and reliability of satellite signals, EGNOS and Galileo will remove barriers to precision agriculture and smart farming. From farm machinery guidance (including autonomous operations), to yield and soil condition monitoring, livestock tracking and forest management, GNSS applications are used across all phases of the agricultural value chain.

Increased integration of farm management systems with space-based services, such as GNSS and Earth Observation, thus offer farmers the possibility to maximise the performance of their farms.
