Success story

Vegetation-Index Crop-Insurance in Ethiopia

Agriculture; Land use; Farming; Insurance & Finance

Profile

Team composed of University of Twente (technical university based in the Netherlands), VITO (an EO company based in Belgium) and International Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA) creates together the user-oriented solution targeting small farm holders. The service is in demand because of the increased intensity and frequency of drought and associated impacts on the environment and societies. Our unique workflow and use of long term Earth observation data has been shown to provide accurate, timely and highly spatially detailed information on drought. We address specific requests to repurpose and repackage the existing workflow to meet user needs beyond the original use case in Ethiopia.

Proposal

The service will consist of (i) detecting and insuring false starts of the main growing season, (ii) introducing a ‘new-generation’ drought monitoring service that provides locally accurate semi-quantitative impact assessments (0-100%), and (iii) creating support through a versatile App to create ground-inventories of farmers assessments regarding suffered yield-gaps.

Benefits

Financial stability of small farmers leading to growth of the communtities
More efficient risk-mitigation measures
More sustainable development of the agriculture sector in regions exposed to droughts
Easily accessible monitoring of the yields

WatchITgrow

Agriculture, Land use, Farming

WatchITgrow is an online platform to support growers to monitor arable crops and vegetables in view of increasing yields, both qualitatively and quantitatively. WatchITgrow uses various types of data starting with satellite data combined with e.g. weather data, soil data, IoT data and field data provided by the grower. These data will be combined using new technologies such as big data analytics and machine learning to provide growers with more timely and personalized advice.

Mutation Signalling on agriculture parcels in the Netherlands

NEO signals changes to agriculture parcels. Monitoring, based on satellite imagery in combination with artificial intelligence, aims to detect changes in the boundaries of the parcels. The service saves time and money because, based on the mutation signalling, parcels can be looked at more specifically to determine the new parcel boundaries. This supports the process of keeping the national LPIS (Land Parcel Identification System) registry up to date. The service that NEO provides is unique: it is the first time that mutation signalling based on earth observation is performed automatically on this scale. In this way the 500.000 parcels in the Netherlands are monitored. Open data from the national satellite data portal in the Netherlands is used.
