Digital technologies supporting plant health early detection, territory surveillance and phytosanitary measures
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes
Increase the availability of large-scale and robust plant scanning methods to monitor plant pests, to assist territorial surveillance and help with timely eradication or optimisation of containment measures;
Enhance innovative and cost-efficient integration of methods, including remote sensing and networks of traps that are available for surveillance of EU regulated plant pests affecting agriculture, forestry, other activities and areas (e.g., urban areas);
Strengthen capacities to prevent entry and spread and to monitor EU regulated plant pests and support plant health territorial surveillance;
Foster transdisciplinary cooperation in the fields of plant health, environmental sciences and earth observation.
Support relevant EU and Associated Countries’ plant health policies.
