This partnership is new and was officially launched on 9 October 2025. It will increase sustainable agriculture in the EU and improve policy monitoring and implementation by using digital and data technologies. The partnership will also generate EU-wide data sets and information through combining geospatial and Earth observation datasets for the agricultural sector.
It is set to operate for at least seven years with a planned budget of €300 million, 30% co-funded by the EU.
You can find the overview of the envisaged Research and Innovation topics in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda which dates back to 2023.

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
