Applications
Turning trusted data into real-world results.
What is HASHTAG developing?
HASHTAG is developing the digital foundations for trusted, certified, and secure data in agriculture—ensuring every map, action, and dataset is accurate, traceable, and usable by farmers, machinery, and regulators.
The project’s core innovations include:
These are not stand-alone tools – they are integrated, field-tested solutions that work across technologies, platforms, and regions.
- Trusted data pipelines from prescription maps to machine-executed logs
- High-accuracy GNSS positioning using Galileo’s HAS and OSNMA
- Certified Earth Observation (EO) workflows based on Copernicus data
How will these applications be used?
The HASHTAG solutions are designed to function directly within on-farm decision-making, compliance with the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and sustainability reporting. They aim to replace fragmented, unverifiable data with certified digital records that are ready for farmers, advisers, policy systems, and food supply chains.
- Generating trusted prescription maps for fertilisation, spraying, or seeding
- Ensuring machinery executes tasks at the right time and location, and logs activities
- Producing certified as-applied maps for audit, documentation, or traceability
- Preventing GNSS spoofing or manipulation in autonomous operations
- Enabling machine-to-system data flows that meet public and private reporting standards
Key developments
High-Accuracy Navigation
By integrating Galileo HAS (High Accuracy Service) and OSNMA (Navigation Message Authentication) into GNSS receivers, HASHTAG ensures:
• Centimetre-level positioning in the field
• Authenticated geolocation data for autonomous machinery
• Trusted execution logging for future automation and regulation
• Protection against spoofing or signal manipulation
Earth Observation Certification
HASHTAG uses Copernicus Sentinel data to generate prescription maps through transparent, reproducible workflows. These maps:
• Include data lineage for environmental and compliance use
• Are aligned with best practices in EO and CAP
• Are digitally signed to support traceability and auditability
Trusted Data
Flows
HASHTAG is building secure, certified workflows from field planning to execution, ensuring that task maps and logs:
• Follow recognised standards (ISOXML, Shapefile)
• Include metadata for time, location, and intent
• Can be verified and certified across systems
• Support regulatory reporting and CAP compatibility
