Talking about us

  • George Farkonis, Head of Larnaca District Offices (CAPO)
    CAPO is delighted to be working for the development of Earth Observation Services in collaboration with NOA. The sheer professionalism of its scientists and the depth of knowledge they possess has helped us increase our own awareness around Earth Observation and their innovative approach and valuable guidance is pushing us towards new levels of accuracy in terms of results. Definitely a partner of choice for future collaborations

  • Aušrius Kučinskas, Head of Direct Support Control Unit (NPA)
    During the implementation of the ENVISION project, NPA worked closely with NOA to evaluate the reliability of products and services provided by technical partners. The NPA team tested 7 algorithms that fully address the existing CAP needs. The Grasslands Mowing Event Detection algorithm more than met our expectations, achieving 100 percent reliability during the quality assessment, which means a truly excellent product performance. Regarding the overall reliability of all algorithms, it reaches even 98 percent, and this is a very high score in product testing. So basically, the algorithms worked effectively and properly identified many cases according to different farming-related CAP requirements. We believe that in the future, this could help increase productivity, reduce costs, speedy evaluate crop quality, identify nonconformities and reduce the time of physical field inspections.

  • Sebastiaan Philips, Department of LV – Head of Unit
    During the implementation of the Flemish BC within the ENVISION project, LV collaborated effectively and efficiently with EV ILVO to develop Soil Quality products that allow the monitoring of the Top Soil Organic Carbon (TopSOC) using satellite imagery data. Within the three iterations cycles, EV ILVO proactively adapted the developed methodology to conform with the provided requirements, achieving the goal of identifying zones within the parcels where the TopSOC are below, close or above the average within the Flemish region considering the pedoclimate conditions. That is a critical first step towards CAP monitoring, but it also opens the doors to integrating this service into the Soil Passport project, as demonstrated during the AgriTEF day in June 2023. We are optimistic that the use of the extra soil labs measurement, coming from various Flemish initiatives like the Carmon Monitoring network, will increase the accuracy of the model, allowing not only the relative monitoring of the TopSOC conditions but also the provision of accurate absolute values which are needed for the calculation of the changes through time at parcel level

  • Svetlana Vitomirović, Inspector, certifier & Project Manager (OCS)
    During the implementation of the Serbian BC within the ENVISION project, OCS collaborated effectively and efficiently with AgroApps to develop the distinction of organic farming practices. Within the two iterations cycles, we could use EO-based services that assist us in improving the inspection and certification process of organic production. This is a completely innovative and new service with a place for further development.
