The US food production industry, established on a democratic market approach, translucid business conditions, and support from the government, is one of the most technologically advanced in the world. Food production cares not only about supplying foodstuff to feed an ever-growing population but also about the reduction of impact intensive agriculture makes on the environment. Since satellite monitoring technologies are advancing, prompting more farming businesses to review their practices and shift towards a precision agriculture mindset, food producers are also getting more interested in using agtech.
However, the number of small and midsize food production companies utilizing remote sensing in their operations remains not that big — only 39% of them have already adopted precision agriculture technologies. On the one hand, investing in modern farming tech lets food producers move their businesses to a new level keeping up with the times. But from the other side, they still hesitate to invest, uncertain whether the expenses will be offset.
For sure, the implementation of satellite-based precision agriculture technologies may require some time, money, and effort. Nevertheless, EOS Data Analytics, a global provider of AI-powered satellite imagery analytics, is confident that employment of space-driven tech can shortly yield dividends helping food producers address their everyday agricultural challenges.
The biggest problem the US food producers face is a lack of analytics data regarding crop development, fields productivity, yield prediction, and fertilizer application.
EOS Crop Monitoring, an online satellite-based precision agriculture platform for near-real-time field monitoring by EOS Data Analytics, offers food producers a comprehensive analytical tool based on satellite imagery processed with AI and machine learning algorithms.
Food producers may find useful:
Vegetation indices and weather data to properly evaluate crop conditions and prevent crop development threats;
Field productivity analysis to understand soil fertility and predict yields;
Zoning presented by VRA (Variable Rate Application) maps for accurate seed planting and fertilizing;
Field leaderboard to quickly catch fields’ essential information and compare productivity;
Group Accounts for external parties and partners to access the platform.
“By utilizing the EOS Crop Monitoring platform, food producers will be able to increase income, improve the application of fertilizers, optimize water consumption, and save cost on field trips. These achievements will prove that satellite monitoring technology implementation is worth to invest,” says Oleksandr Dzhevaga, Sales Manager at EOS Data Analytics.
If a food production business uses an existing precision agriculture system and has no intention to switch to a new platform, they can benefit from the API integration capabilities EOS Data Analytics offers within its out-of-the-box and white label solutions. Via API, the users can access satellite imagery, statistics, and weather data.
In terms of custom solutions, food producers can get yield modeling and forecasting. This feature comes especially useful for food security to plan products’ import and export and ensure there will be no food scarcity risks.
To enhance the existing crop monitoring solutions even more, EOS Data Analytics is working intensively on the launch of EOS SAT — the agriculture-focused satellite constellation of seven optical satellites to be delivered into low Earth orbit within 2022–2024. This will be the first agro-oriented satellite constellation launched by the company utilizing remote sensing technologies to deliver high-quality imagery and analytics for farming.
Within EOS Crop Monitoring out-of-the-box, API, and custom services, food producers will benefit from:
Unified precision agriculture platform for a company’s employees, partners, and third parties;
Vegetation indices and weather forecast to timely react to any crop growing issues;
Historical field productivity to predict yields;
Zoning functionality to ensure rational use of seeds and fertilizers;
Customized reporting and field leaderboard to quickly access necessary data.
EOS Data Analytics has far-going strategic plans to introduce more food producers to satellite-based precision agriculture technologies. The company believes that satellite imagery processed with AI and machine learning can boost the US food production market, ensuring consumers always have good-quality and fairly-priced food.
