On April 27, 2024, a meeting with farmers was held in Snowidowo (Greater Poland Voivodeship) as part of the GrasSAT project, implemented by the University of Life Sciences in Poznań, which is the Polish partner of the project. The meeting took place on the farm of one of the participants, where the final version of the mobile application for farmers was presented.

The meeting aimed to discuss the practical applications of the application and collect farmers’ opinions on its functionality. During the discussion, possibilities to support crop management on grasslands under stressful conditions were also presented.

The GrasSAT project is co-financed by the Norwegian Funds and implemented in cooperation with Norwegian institutions, NIBIO and NORCE.

On January 24, in the ballroom of the University of Warsaw Museum, a conference was held dedicated to the results of research conducted within the Grassat project, which is funded by the Norwegian Funds and implemented in collaboration with two institutions from Norway, NIBIO and NORCE.

The project focuses on developing mobile tools for farmers, enabling the transfer of information about yields from greenlands under extreme conditions to support management practices. The aim of the project is to create an application that will facilitate better yield management for farmers.

During the conference, results of the research conducted in two areas in Poland, Podlasie and Wielkopolska, as well as in Norway, were presented. There was also an opportunity to meet with scientists from Poland and Norway.

Seminar meeting about the possibilities of using satellite data in agriculture

On January 11, 2024, a seminar was held on the possibilities of using satellite data in agriculture at the headquarters of the Agricultural Advisory Center in Brwinów. During the meeting, the main assumptions of the project and the benefits of the website, which is its direct product, were presented to a wide audience of over 270 people. The meeting was attended by the director of the facility, representatives of all regional agricultural advisory centers in the country and individual farmers as potential users of our website.

The Remote Sensing Center at the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography, along with project partners: the University of Life Sciences in Poznań, Geomatic company, NIBIO Institute, and Norce Institute, cordially invites you to participate in the international conference titled:

“Tools for information to farmers on grasslands yields under stressed conditions to support management practices”
“Narzędzia do przekazywania rolnikom informacji na temat plonów z użytków zielonych w warunkach skrajnych w celu wsparcia praktyk zarządzania”

The conference will take place on January 24, 2024, in Warsaw, at the building of the University of Warsaw Museum, in the Tyszkiewicz-Potocki Palace, located at Krakowskie Przedmieście 3.

The Grassat project – “Tools for information to farmers on grasslands yields under stressed conditions to support management practices” is funded by the National Centre for Research and Development, as part of the Norwegian Funds.

Those wishing to attend in person are kindly requested to confirm their participation by email at marzena.kasperek@igik.edu.pl.

On June 5-10, 2023, Marcin Kluczek, a specialist at the Remote Sensing Center, is staying at the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomics in Tromsø (NIBIO), located beyond the Arctic Circle in distant Norway.

This visit is an opportunity to exchange information on the work carried out by the Remote Sensing Center team and NIBIO as part of the joint research and implementation project Grassat – Tools for information to farmers on grasslands yields under stressed conditions to support management practices and to learn about the teaching program and remote sensing research carried out at a Norwegian institute. During the visit, Marcin Kluczek will present at a seminar research conducted at the Remote Sensing Center in the field of using Copernicus satellite data to monitor the condition of vegetation in Poland. The visit is carried out as part of the Grassat project, from the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 / POLNOR 2019

During the Living Planet Symposium conference held in Bonn on May 23-27, scientists from the Remote Sensing Center, Institute of Geodesy and Cartography, presented the results of work in the GrasSAT project – Tools for information to farmers on grasslands yields under stressed conditions to support management practices .

The results were presented during the session: A3.04 Agriculture – Methods and Algorithms, Science, Applications and Policy, on the first day of the Conference.

The project is financed by the National Center for Research and Development, under the “Applied Research” program under the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 / POLNOR 2019.

The main goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive system for managing grassland production, mainly for medium and large farms in Poland and Norway. As part of the project, a fully functioning platform will be developed in the form of a desktop and mobile application.
