Making the invisible visible

The AgroRadar project aims at providing large-scale precision agriculture services to farmers, agronomists and companies. It provides greater sustainability, higher productivity and lower costs for farmers, by using big data analysis, including Earth Observation data, proprietary algorithms and agronomic data models. It provides tailor-made reports to farmers, which enable plant water and fertilizers optimization and harvest yield forecasts. The AgroRadar project processes Copernicus EO Synthetic Aperture Radar data, which has the advantage, when compared to other remote sensing technologies, to be available in good and bad weather conditions, giving the ability to obtain more precise and detailed agronomic information in cloudy geographies where normally agriculture has a great importance. The product targets four main users: small and medium-scale farm producers, large-scale farm producers, agricultural professional organisations and farmers' associations, and other interested third-parties.
