ESA and BayWa AG are joining forces in an effort to advance the use of satellite data in farming.
ESA will provide technical expertise about how to access and interpret data from satellites such as the fleet of Sentinels for Europe’s Copernicus EU programme. In particular, Sentinel-2 is providing images that can distinguish between different crop types and be used to monitor plant growth.
BayWa’s subsidiary FarmFacts, which specialises in digital services for farming, will provide feedback on the usefulness and validity of the data. Click to learn more.
