A recent report of the European GNSS Agency – GSA highlights the requirements of the agricultural sector in terms of navigation technologies based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). More specifically, analyzes user requirements for applications in Precision Agriculture and agri-logistics and examines performance requirements by application. In addition, it includes an analysis of current and potential future market trends in the agriculture sector.
GNSS user requirements in the agriculture sector are driven by a number of needs: increased profitability of agricultural operations, solutions targeted at small and medium-sized farms, and compliance with policy considerations related to agricultural subsidies. Technological drivers include significant improvements in high accuracy solutions, coupled with the increased availability of low-cost equipment and the combining of GNSS with other technologies in integrated farm management solutions.
