1. Excellence in Agronomy 2030: A new CGIAR-wide initiative to deliver agronomy solutions at scaleRequired increases in crop production and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will not happen without the increased use of appropriate agronomic practices. While several thousand new varieties of nearly all key crops have been produced in the past decade, recent increases in yields in specific countries have only happened when such varieties received the right agro-inputs and management. That said, agronomy is often highlighted as an area that has not delivered impact at scale in SSA, or... B. Vanlauwe, T. Amede, F. Baudron, P. Chivenge, M. Devare, K. Saito, J. Kihara, V. Nangia, P.

2. CropSAT – opportunities for applications in precision agriculture in AfricaThe present paper aims at describing the CropSAT system, a Sentinel-2-based interactive decision support system (DSS) that provides vegetation index (VI) maps free-of-charge all across the globe for different applications in precision agriculture. We summarize research results from the ongoing developmental process and pointing to opportunities for development and application in precision agriculture in Africa. The DSS was initially developed in a research project at the Swedish University of... O. Alshihabi, I. Nouiri, M. Mechri, H. Angar, K. Piikki, J. Martinsson, M. Söderström |
3. An Open Source Multispectral Camera for Crop MonitoringPrecision agriculture is one of the most important economic issues of the 21st century because it will make it possible to respond to the new challenges of agriculture, which are population growth, global warming, global epidemics, and inflation, to name a few. Remote sensing makes it possible to monitor the plantation from a distance and makes it possible to know the level of growth and the state of health and hydration of the plants. This paper outlines an affordable and open-source multispectral... H. Nardjes, M. Yagoubi |
