Crop Monitoring as an E-agriculture tool in developing countries


E-AGRI (www.e-agri.info) is designed to address one of the objectives of the FP7-ICT-2009-6 call, namely the support to the uptake of European ICT research results in developing economies. The objective will be realized by setting up an advanced European e-agriculture service in two developing economies, Morocco and China, by means of crop monitoring via biophysical models and remote sensing.
