FarmFleet at Planet Labs: satellites for the development of precision agriculture🙌🏼 Satellite systems and drones create a successful tandem for the efficient management of large agricultural areas. Satellites provide global monitoring, providing data on the state of the fields, while drones provide point solutions from low altitude🛰️ So, we visited the office of Planet Labs, which has changed the approach to Earth monitoring thanks to its satellite technology. Today, the company's fleet includes about 200 satellites that cover the entire globe several times a day. This ensures operational monitoring of large areas to optimise processes and increase productivity in the agricultural sector around the world. Planet Labs pays special attention to agriculture. The company's technologies provide operational monitoring of large areas to increase productivity and optimise processes on all continents. ☝🏼During the meeting, they discussed the potential of satellite data to address the key challenges of the agricultural sector: effective land management and the fight against illegal practices. The successful example of Brazil, where satellite technologies have reduced illegal deforestation by 40%, can become a tool to support the sustainable development of Ukrainian agriculture. The use of open data and modern technologies is crucial for creating new projects, supporting farmers, and improving the efficiency of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. We thank USAID Competitive Economy Program in Ukraine and Ukrainian Startup Fund for organising an inspiring meeting and the opportunity to integrate the best international practices into the development of the Ukrainian agricultural sector!
