Precision Agriculture

World agriculture is big business, but its significance extends far beyond the economy. Food security for a rapidly increasing population is critical, and the use of precision agriculture has transformed farming. But much as agriculture is now big business, small farmers and farms, often in developing countries, are just as critical to world food markets and to the health of their local economies.

In agriculture, Earth Observation imagery and data analytics have already revolutionised food production and supply chain management with the development of precision farming. Earth-i offers precision agriculture companies access to timely and detailed geospatial information that can assist agricultural guidance systems to manage crop production and maximise yields in large-scale farming enterprises or provide critical decision-support to small-holder farms in developing countries.

Earth-i delivers geospatial intelligence to farmers, governments and agri-companies with a level of detail and actionable insight, over wide areas and with high frequency revisits. This enables effective decision-support and farm-based technologies that increase crop yields, crop health and farm productivity. When integrated with other data sources, such as predictive models for weather and pests, geospatial analytics and intelligence are combatting the impact of climate change and working towards more sustainable global food supply.

Sample Applications:
• Mapping agricultural land and crop classification Vegetation and crop health monitoring
• Terrain feature identification and change monitoring
• Site-specific crop yield management programmes
• Climate change mitigation
