part of our consultancy or as on-demand products – from pre-processed satellite
images to thematic maps.
THEMES & PROJECTS: Learn more about how your project can use satellite earth observation
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
