"After February 24, what previously was starting to shake financial markets and filling them with uncertainty became a tangible concern about food security and supply chain disruptions around the world." The current geopolitical conflict between Ukraine and Russia has prompted us to write this article and share with you some things that we've been reflecting on about agriculture and food security.
ESG investment is good for the planet and your business.

How can satellite imagery help identify flooded regions when climate phenomenons like “La Niña” happen? “As climate change continues to impact the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, there is a growing ‘adaptation pressure’ on farms, regions, and sectors to remain productive and profitable.” Click here to read more!
Soil yourself with our new Feature! ⚡ After celebrating World Soil Day yesterday, we are thrilled to share that our new Feature is up and running. "The soil feature includes a handful of soil attributes: sand, silt clay, organic carbon, pH, and available water captivity. These attributes are great if you are an agronomist, but, for everyone else, how do we know which one is "better"?"

There are many rich, publicly available datasets that the agricultural industry can use to make better decisions that can quickly add up to many terabytes of information on a national scale, leading to a big-data problem. How do we handle all of this data to transform it into a usable format for our users? Why does my processing algorithm crash? Or, why is this taking so long?
We asked our Co-Founder and CTO Matthew Rozek about one of his favourite topics to talk about. 🚀 "Satellite imagery is a rich data source that powers many applications and it can look beautiful."
