Working to produce various tools relevant for the management of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the new project Sen4CAP – funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) – seeks to provide the data necessary to enable more effective and cost-efficient control of farming practices.

The project targets European and national stakeholders, particularly Paying Agencies, aiming to facilitate procedures for monitoring farmers’ compliance by using satellite data on land use collected by the EU’s earth observation programme Copernicus.
