Within the framework of e-shape, our partner DynaCrop, organizes a series of individual workshops with the ultimate goal to shed light on how Earth Observation products can help monitor Soil Organic Carbon variations.
The importance of using maps to optimize field sampling and organic fertilizing as well as the effects of cover cropping on soil moisture trend will also be highlighted.
There are many more use cases, so join the discussion to express your specific needs and ideas.
Schedule of the individual workshops:
31 May: Tools for farmers (Variable organic fertilizing, Soil water content)
2 June: Tools for carbon credit traders (Field sampling planning, Cover crop & Tillage detection)
7 June: Tools for food production chain (Carbon content monitoring, Field statistics)
8 June: Tools for food tracing (Regenerative measures validation, Carbon content monitoring)
16 June: Lessons learnt (Customizing future service, Realization of your ideas)
Fast Facts:
Fill your soil with carbon to boost fertility and get extra income
Soils get more and more exhausted from massive production every year. But Regenerative Agriculture is fighting it quite successfully. Doing so makes capturing CO2 from the air trendy.
Large industrial companies aim to be carbon neutral but they are unable to do so on their own using current technology. But farmers started to be helping them via carbon credit trading. If the farm follows principles of regenerative agriculture and there is an effort to capture more carbon than to release, it opens a path to get a financial reward. In addition, practices like minimum tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, manure, and compost application boost soil health (organic matter content, water holding capacity, biodiversity) and yields in the long run!
