OASIS Project under the Interreg VI-A Latvia–Lithuania Programme – approved
The National Paying Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture (NPA) received good news – the project “Optimizing Access to Services through Integrated EO and AI Solutions for Innovative Societies (OASIS)” was selected for funding under the Interreg VI-A Latvia–Lithuania Programme 2021–2027, as part of the 2nd Call for Proposals.
NPA, Lithuania, together with the consortium member Rural Support Service (RSS), Latvia, have built a partnership to implement OASIS in the cross-border regions of both countries. In this consortium the Leading Partner NPA and the Project Partner RSS in their day-to-day performance will apply the AI-based tool to be developed for the specific monitoring and control needs by the Norwegian company DigiFarm.
Project objective – to help local farmers in Latvian-Lithuanian border regions applying for subsidies under different CAP schemes. By improving the accuracy of agricultural monitoring and control systems, OASIS aims to reduce penalties, field inspections, and costs, ensuring fairer and more efficient support for farmers.
The project aims to test and integrate an AI-powered tool developed by using super-resolved EU Copernicus programme Sentinel-2 satellite data, i.e., 1 metre resolution.
Thus the accuracy of agricultural monitoring and control systems will be improved, penalties, number of field inspections, and administrative costs both for controlling institutions and for farmers will be reduced. This tool will be integrated into the control and monitoring platforms of both NPA and RSS.
The project will be implemented over a period of 24 months – from spring 2025.
Total budget: EUR 311,850
EU co-financing (ERDF): EUR 249,480
