What we do
Consultancy and project support
We offer comprehensive and targeted consultancy to international development agencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), and other companies, to maximize the use of earth observation for agricultural projects around the world. We support your projects with innovative, cost-efficient and science grade geospatial assessments.
Ready to go products
Building on years of experience, we use a broad spectrum of geospatial technology, including state of the art machine/deep learning and cloud computing technology, to deliver robust and science grade products in a range of areas – either as part of our consultancy or as on-demand products – from pre-processed satellite images to thematic maps.

Agriculture & rural development
By using satellite imagery, assessing and monitoring of agricultural production becomes much easier — be it single fields, or entire landscapes. It is a powerful tool for spatial information on the land’s condition and to support land and water ressource management.
OUR SERVICES
MAPPING
Maps of cropland extent, crop types, crop rotation, farmland parcel delineation.
MONITORING & HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
Monitoring of crop conditions and growth to support more efficient farming practises, or monitoring of cultivated areas and crop types, including associated bio-physical indicators
Monitoring & evaluation
Most projects in the field of technical or financial cooperation will have a requirement for environmental and social impact assessment. Satellite data, online surveys and geocoding make it easy to collect data. This simplifies ex-post evaluations, especially in regions that are difficult or impossible to reach. With satellite archives dating back for decades, retrospective assessments become feasible.
OUR SERVICES
EVALUATION
Support evaluation of projects under financial or technical cooperation, supporting ex-post assessments and impact measurement
REPORTS
Objective and comprehensive reports with historic and status assessments, qantitative facts to support evaluation
PROJECT AREA IDENTIFICATION
Project region targeting, dentification of land in need of project intervention (e.g. degraded land)
MONITORING INDICATORS
Support projects addressing the sustainable development goals
