EO4Nutri will develop innovative scientific solutions that bring together the capabilities of various Earth Observation (EO) data through novel methods and approaches to estimate and predict the nutrient content of soil, crop canopy, and harvested crops for several global staple grains: maize, rice, sorghum, teff and wheat. This will advance knowledge in better understanding, mapping, and monitoring nutritional quality of crops. In terms of the investigated nutrients, the project will focus on those with high relevance to human nutrition and plant growth: Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Magnesium (Mg), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Selenium (Se), Sulphur (S), and Zinc (Zn). These nutrients are deficient in many countries across the globe.
