Measure Productivity   Increase Efficiency   Sustainable Development Strategies   Strengthen Resilience

Agriculture provides essential societal benefits: food supply & commodities, economic development and employment. However, rural communities are under ever increasing pressure from increased productivity requirements, soil erosion and sealing, water scarcity, natural hazards and climate change.

Strategic Seasonal Information for Agriculture & Rural

Satellite Earth observation is a powerful technique that can continuously provide geospatial information across the agricultural and rural value chains to measure productivity, increase efficiency of agriculture, identify sustainability of farming practices and strengthening the resilience of rural communities.

Soil Moisture Based Start of Season (Senegal, Africa): Satellite derived agriculture risk insurance indices. Such information is used for food security monitoring and international organisations to improve weather risk management in West Africa [Img src Geoville]

Rice Mapping (Mekong Basin, Cambodia): Earth Observation based rice monitoring for the Mekong River Basin. These maps provide a complete understanding of crop dispersion and planting months for the Mekong Integrated Water Resources Management Initiative [Img src Geoville]

Crop Monitoring (Marchfeld, Austria): Satellite monitoring of crop type, status and change over time. Such observations are used in crop growth models to predict crop yields and eventually grain prices [Img src Geoville]
