VitiGEOSS final event
Precision vineyard management tools based on the integration of Earth Observations and in-field sensors
16 of February 2024
Climate change is posing important current and future challenges for viticulture and wine production. There is an urgent need for innovative tools to improve vineyard management and sustainability. The VitiGEOSS platform is a vineyard management solution aiming to help wine producers and viticulturists improve their operations and make better informed decisions.
In this event, VitiGEOSS project partners will provide an overview of the services integrated into the VitiGEOSS platform, offering information on climate predictions, crop phenology, irrigation, fertilisation, disease, and business and sustainability management, and present success stories of how the platform can be used by wine producers for better informed decision-making.
Target audience:
- Technology providers
- Viticulture and agriculture stakeholders
- Earth Observation and climate services providers
- Scientific community (in particular climate services, climate predictions, EO, satellite data)
- Other European projects

About VitiGEOSS
The European VitiGEOSS project integrates and improves existing solutions coupling satellite imagery with in-field sensors to increase resolution and reliability of satellite information applied to all aspects of viticulture and specific wine-business operations. In the framework of the project innovative solutions are being developed to support agronomic management aimed at vine cultivation that integrate and improve existing solutions in the field of weather and climate forecasting, phenology, disease prediction and resource optimization.
