Webinar: Fighting Soil Degradation With EOSDA Solutions

On January 31, 2023, at 10 AM PT/7 PM CET, EOS Data Analytics, a global provider of AI-powered satellite imagery analytics, will host a free webinar focused on digital soil mapping and crop modeling, as well as their role in monitoring and sustaining soil health and maximizing crop yields.

The presenters will discuss how satellite imagery analytics assist in reaching sustainability practices, especially in mitigating soil degradation risks. The webinar will last approximately 1.5 hours.

Food production companies, agribusinesses and agri-cooperatives, specialists from the banking, consultancy, and telecom branches involved in the agriculture industry, and everyone interested in reaching food security by leveraging modern tech in agriculture will find the event worth their attention.

Climate change causes multiple challenges for the agriculture industry all around the world. Extreme events, such as droughts, extreme heat, storms, forest fires, and floods, lead to loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, and, as a result, food insecurity. To mitigate the consequences of such events and risks of similar climate change effects in the future, agribusinesses turn to space technologies. One such case is the utilization of AI-powered satellite imagery analytics for soil mapping and crop modeling.

Since digital soil maps are based on satellite imagery and math, they are highly accurate and can then be used for soil property and soil type mapping, as well as agrochemical cartograms. With the ability to quickly grasp the state of the soil on its land at any given moment, agribusinesses get an opportunity to react to unwanted events before they take place or cause maximum damage.

The webinar presenters will be:

• Vasyl Cherlinka, Soil Scientist at EOS Data Analytics
• Lina Yarysh, Head of Customer Success at EOS Data Analytics

Speakers and hosts will discuss the following topics:

• The science behind soil degradation and ways of addressing it
• Methods of digital soil mapping and crop modeling
• The role of soil mapping and crop modeling in monitoring and sustaining soil health and maximizing crop yields
• EOS Data Analytics has recently launched its own first EOS SAT-1 satellite: how it can help prevent soil degradation

Digital mapping reveals the types and levels of soil degradation so that agrarians could come up with a plan for improving soil fertility. Since there are several methods for that, finding the correct combination of ways to influence the soil will determine the fate of future crops on it.

Lina Yarysh, Head of Customer Success at EOS Data Analytics, will conclude the main webinar part with the company’s satellite constellation presentation and reveal how agri-focused satellites can power up soil mapping and crop monitoring.

If businesses are to rely on modern technologies in soil mapping and yield prediction projects, they want to make sure the calculations are as accurate and reliable as possible. This expectation brings up the need for special agri-focused satellites in low Earth orbit, and we’ve just launched one. By 2025, the constellation of seven satellites named EOS SAT will bring high-resolution imagery of any land and allow us to have complete control over data acquisition, analysis, and delivery. We consider this to be a game changer for the ag world.
