ForEOSt aims to promote easy access and appropriation of EO data, to ensure visualisation of EO products through integration into thematic/business platforms, to enable the production of forest services over large areas in the most automated way possible, and to allow monitoring of changes in the forest over time, such as deforestation or afforestation, and impacts on the forest such as drought or pests. ForEOSt is based on a combination of Sentinel-2 data and Very High Resolution (VHR) data.
