On October 4, EOS Data Analytics, a global provider of artificial intelligence satellite imagery analysis, and the Greenpeace Center for Global Mapping organized a webinar on the application of satellite remote sensing and image analysis in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and social and environmental initiatives meeting.
As the use cases discussed revolve around optimal use of resources, availability of resources for everyday needs, and ecological integrity, the speakers at Sustainability Background.
The presentation begins with a brief introduction to EOSDA, its commitment to sustainability, academic outreach programs, products and services, and recent social and environmental projects.
“In an environment of increased risk of crop failure due to climate change-related extreme weather and growing food demand, industry players’ interest in precision agriculture is driven by their intent to withstand competition. As precision agriculture also focuses on improving resource use and maximizing Minimizing the harmful impact of agriculture on the environment, we are seeing the industry transform through the adoption of relevant technologies,” notes Roman Elijah, Vice President of Sales, EOSDA.
EOS data analysis In line with 9 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, such as life on land, Responsible Production and Consumptionor end hunger Involved in product development strategies, implementing or participating in non-commercial projects.
“One of the social projects we are involved in is the Participatory Mapping Project in Chad. Its goal is to inspire collaboration between indigenous communities suffering from the consequences of climate change (water and land loss) and fight to get them. Produced by our GIS experts developed a satellite image-based map of disputed resource areas, which community members annotated with natural and man-made objects critical to everyday life. The map complements information on who, when and how land and water are used. agreement. Leaders of 116 communities from 23 villages participated in the project,” Say Vera Patrick, EOSDA Chief Marketing Officer.
Vera Patrick also introduced EOSDA Academic Outreach Programdesigned to enhance environmental-related research by providing scientists, students and researchers with free or discounted access to the EOSDA LandViewer and EOSDA Crop Monitoring platforms.
Greenpeace campaign researcher Sergio Domingo Talked about how their team used EOSDA LandViewer to monitor deforestation in several provinces of Argentina (Santiago del Estero, Salta, Chaco and Formosa) and report the findings.
“The National Forest Law passed in late 2007 prohibits logging in these areas. Although protected by the law, these lands account for nearly 80% of the total deforestation in the country. Our mission is to monitor monthly changes in land use, to local disclosures Violations are recorded in reports and maps, and the information is shared with the public via the media and social media. Thanks to EOSDA LandViewer, we can react very quickly to discovered violations,” Say sergio sunday.
Bridgesh Topier, Head of Strategic Partnerships at EOSDA, introduces EOS SAT – the world’s first agriculture-focused satellite constellation from a company utilizing remote sensing technology. By providing high-quality satellite data, it will help customers optimize agricultural production: use variable rates of inputs to protect soil health and increase yields, reduce energy, water or fuel use, and more.
