The Community on Agricultural Policy Innovation and Geo Information (CAPIGI) holds its 10th conference in Amersfoort, since the start in 2005. CAPIGI brings together experts from government, industry, science and the farming sector to discuss the opportunities of geospatial data and technologies to improve the performance of agriculture – from smart farming to sustainability reporting. CAPIGI’25 is dedicated to “Space Data for Dataspaces” and is exploring the growing development of connected digital systems (with geospatial technologies) to feed AI and robotics. Space (spatial) data is collected and used in many ways in agriculture and their value is exponential when integrated with other data sources, from IoT, from advisors, from (scientific) models etc.
