The project “Тhe ancient wheat - growth and physiological characteristics under unfavorable stress factors and possibilities to alleviate the negative effects” is in line with the scientific priorities of the Bulgarian National Research Strategy: Improvement of the quality of life – food, environment protection, with the EU FP „Horizon Europe": Food, bioeconomy, agriculture & environment, and with launching an International Research Initiative for Wheat Improvement. This initiative is based on the urgent need for all countries to speed the progress in wheat in relation to its productivity, adaptivity, stress tolerance and efficient use of nutrients. In the same time the project match the objectives of the European Space Strategy and the European Space Policy - to support the appropriate research activities fostering the exploitation of the technical capabilities of the space community with the objective of seizing market opportunities and meeting the demands of the society. The project's goal is to use the technical capabilities for spectral measurements in remote sensing monitoring of wheat crops under unfavorable stress factors that is relevant to the European Policies in the domain of the most advances information technologies. Aiming optimal combination, integration and dissemination of data and services, the project will create further interdisciplinary perspectives. Spectral measurement data will enable the validation of information products with respect to the accuracy and reliability of the data. The planned spectral measurements and the acquired data closely correspond to the "Copernicus" program. The remotely sensing obtained data will be used for knowledge upgrading about relation between unfavorable stress factors and spectral data. This will contribute to the widespread dissemination of scientific results and will be used to link space remote monitoring and ground-truth data. This work is supported by the Bulgarian National Science Fund under Project KP-06-N56/15 (КП-06- Н56/15).
