EO-FARM: EARTH OBSERVATION FARMING

EOFARM makes use of satellite images to help farmers in monitoring and managing crops from planting to harvesting. EOFARM main objective is to launch in the market an innovative PF service which targets small farms (average size between 5-30ha), addressing a clear user need, and to enter in the emerging market of commercial applications of EO downstream services in agriculture, estimated to be worth approximately 43 million in 2015.

EOFARM is be based on:

-an innovative algorithm able to integrate the algorithm indexes derived from NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), LAI (LEAF AREA INDEX) and OSAVI (Optimized Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index) for the production of 3 different kind of maps at the same time: crop vigor maps, vegetation status maps, green leaf maps,

- free satellite data derived from the constellation Copernicus (sentinel 2) and Landsat 8

- Open Geo, an open source solution
