Ministry of Agriculture Drone imagery use: pilot tests in Italy Livio Rossi*; Roberto Ligi*; Fabio Volpe*; Valerio Fortuna***; Andrea Melchiorri***; Philippe Loudjani** * e-GEOS; ** JRC - Agriculture Food Security; ***Sigeo Purposes Proof of concept of the use of drones for CAP controls, in Italy (EU?), including: • Values of " pro rata “ pastures with tare, in Italy; • Land /soil erosion correct mitigation (GAEC standard) • Correctness of crop delimitation in Geo Spatial Aid Application • Incorrect sludge and livestock management near stables Additional evaluations on: • Advantages/limitations and flexibility vs satellite/airborne • Professional skills needed • Elements of time and costs • Possible service simulation for specific checks Working group • Ministry of Agricultural Policies – Rural Development and EU/International Affairs Department • SIN spa (service provider for AGEA and Mipaaf) • Telespazio/e-GEOS (24 years on CwRS activity) • JRC MARS (support and validation) • Sigeo srl (agronomic services and UAV operational with 6 authorized pilots) NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK 2014-20 – DRONES for AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS – 7 zones acquired in 2016 (red for P.
