Management of water and food resources and improvement of the supply chain

The AquaFarm service aims at integrating data from satellite, meteorological models, meteorological measurements and plant growth models in order to provide modelling results about plant and soil and facilitate the access to information on crop development for customers. AQUAFARM improves access to data and models (which have low maintenance costs and high durability when compared with intensive measurements-based services) to support four identified users (Retailers, Farmers Associations, Ministries and Service Providers) that all together help improve the value chain. Sentinel 2 optical data (and also Landsat 8) are the corner stone of the system, allowing for the remote monitoring of vegetation.
