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.
