Our project “SatGrass” was a #Success story FFG ) . We congratulate everyone involved on this award.
What is this project about?
The SatGrass project, which is funded by the FFG as part of the Austrian Space Program (ASAP), is about the satellite-based estimation of yields and feed quality on Austria's grassland areas. In addition to the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein and the Austrian Association for Grassland and Livestock Industry (ÖAG), the project partners work at the BOKU (Institute for Geomatics), the TU Vienna (Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation) and the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG). We spent a lot of time building a database in which the data collected in the field was combined with satellite and weather data.
Thanks to the collaboration of the Austrian Machinery Ring and agricultural educational institutions throughout Austria, grassland data that was painstakingly collected for this project
The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) presents successful projects in the #Success Stories article series, thereby making them known to a broad public interested in research in Austria.
