Why is GNSS a successful application in agriculture?
Because it …• Earns money:
– Fuel savings 10-15%– Higher productivity (per farmer)– Efficient use of resources
• Improves cultivation practices:– Day and Night (peak times)– Less fatigue– Less driving skills needed
• Is simple:– ‘Embodied’ knowledge– Fast learning

Unsuitable for solar power …
This map shows areas that are unsuitable for solar power due to excess cloud cover. These areas also have high risks of clouds preventing to take optical satellite images.

GNSS and UAVs
• EGNOS enhanced autopilot;• GNSS based flight box;• Better location of UAV;• Improved mosaicing;
• Deliver taskmaps in ‘digestible’ way;
• UAVs are a SERVICE EXTENSION for satellite imagery.

Uptake of VRA is still very low
- It is complicated;- It is expensive;- It requires skills, investments, etc.
It requires to change the way farmers work!
