The objective of this ITT is to develop, test and demonstrate a prototype Agriculture Virtual Laboratory (AVL) as a community open science tool, where EO satellite data, algorithms and derived products can be accessed, shared, visualised, processed and validated.In order to achieve this objective, the tool shall provide access and facilitate sharing of relevant space and non-space data (aerial, UAV, in-situ, statistical, LPIS etc.). Following an Open Science approach, the AVL shall mainly be designed to support scientistto access and share EO data, high-level products, in-situ data, and open source code (algorithms, models, tools) to carry out scientific studies and projects, sharing results, knowledge and resources. The AVL is intended to be a community based, long-term initiative facilitating the continuous development of expertise and knowledge in agricultural monitoring and modelling based on the evolving Earth Observation (EO) capabilities.
