The Prize rewards young innovators exploring the use of satellite technologies to improve agriculture and reduce environmental impact.
An initiative of the European GNSS Agency and the European Environment Agency, the Farming by Satellite Prize invites applicants to submit their ideas for a more sustainable, productive and efficient agriculture industry in Europe.
Returning in 2020, the Special Africa Prize encouraged young Africans to develop satellite-based solutions able to cater to the specific needs and resources of communities and lands in Africa.
Rewarding success and innovation
The aim of the prize is to promote Europe’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Earth Observation (EO) services in agriculture. We’re looking for new ideas and innovations, particularly those relying upon European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), the GALILEO system, or Copernicus. Entries can be from individuals or teams, and be about any type of agriculture.
