Due to pressure of food demand, increased price competition and demand for sustainable farming practices, it’s increasingly important to
optimize agricultural practices. The European FP7 project ERMES focuses specifically on rice cultivation, and aims to combine earth observation,
crop modelling and ICT techniques and tools to optimize agro-practices and ultimately, support environmentally and economically sustainable
farming systems. ERMES combines partners from Europe’s three main rice-producing countries: Italy (51,3%), Spain (25,4%) and Greece (7%)1.
With end-users and case studies in these three countries, the ERMES project is perfectly positioned to chart current practices and innovation
potential in the European rice cultivation market. In this work, we focus on how ERMES plans to develop and exploit modern ICT tools and
techniques to assist rice farmers to streamline the rice cultivation process on one hand, and local authorities to better regulate, control and oversee
rice cultivation on the other hand. [-]
