The Challenge
Farming is going digital – but can farmers fully trust the data guiding their machines?
Satellite signals and digital maps guide today’s machines, but the data isn’t always accurate, verified, or easy to use for reporting. Without trusted information, farmers face risks in planning, operations, and compliance.
HASHTAG is closing this gap – building certified data flows that give farmers the confidence to rely on digital tools in the field.
HASHTAG is building the foundations for trusted digital farming.
By combining Galileo satellite services, Copernicus Earth Observation, and standardised data protocols, the project creates certified, reliable data flows – from field maps to machine logs.
This means farmers can count on their data being accurate, verifiable, and ready for smart decisions, automation, and compliance.
Our Objectives
HASHTAG focuses on four practical goals to bring trust into digital agriculture:

Improve Data Quality
Design and test how Galileo and Copernicus can power trusted task maps and as-applied logs.

Create Certified Applications
Build tools that deliver traceable, stakeholder-validated data for smarter field actions.

Promote Standards
Integrate certification into global data formats like SOXML and Shapefiles - making digital agriculture easier to adopt.

Go Beyond the Farm
Show how trusted data supports reporting, food chain transparency, and CAP compliance worldwide.
Impact
HASHTAG brings real-world value to everyone working in or with agriculture:

Farmers
