Predictia has won the Soil Organic Carbon Calculation Model Innovation Challenge organised by La Vega Innova, an agri-food innovation platform with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of the Government of Spain.
Over the coming months, and together with ITD Medioambiente, we will develop machine learning models to calculate soil organic carbon found up to a deepth of 30 centimeters in a number of plots of land as well as its evolution through satellite imagery, climate information and land use.
This challenge is part of the Environmental Monitoring Programme of the Strategic Plan of the Common Agricultural Policy, launched at a moment when solutions for soil carbon fixation are being explored, ‘and is being encouraged with subsidies for conservation and regenerative agricultural practices’, La Vega Innova points out.
