This section provides insights on policy trends that will help the user navigate and understand the dynamically evolving Earth Observation sector linked to the EU policies (Common Agricultural Policy, European Water Framework Directive, Europe 2050, European Green Deal, EU Biodiversity Strategy, among others). 

The articles are updated regularly and injected from different projects.
