Satellite Imagery for precision agriculture: Solutions to accelerate profitability and sustainability

The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed nearly 2 billion people in Asia and the Pacific to further malnutrition.

According to a new UN report, the pandemic’s economic impact and the high prices of nutritious food, among them, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, have made it nearly impossible for the region’s poor people to achieve healthy diets.
