NIBULON continues cooperation with NASA Harvest and joins new project
NIBULON has extended its cooperation with NASA Harvest, NASA’s agriculture consortium, and joined a new project focused on monitoring sustainable farming practices in Ukraine.
The project covers the grain and oilseed sectors and involves the development of models capable of remotely identifying crop rotations, tillage practices, and the presence of cover crops using satellite optical and radar data.
As part of the collaboration, NIBULON provides researchers with field data from its farmland and expert support for training and validating the accuracy of the models.
According to NASA Harvest Director Dr. Inbal Becker-Reshef, the partnership with the Ukrainian company has now entered its third year and plays an important role in advancing agricultural monitoring technologies. The tools being developed will make it possible to track crop rotation histories over the past ten years, assess the environmental sustainability of farming operations, and determine tillage intensity.
According to NIBULON’s Director of Agricultural Production, Oleg Veselov, participation in the project helps the company not only contribute to the development of global sustainable agriculture monitoring tools but also improve its own approaches to crop analysis and the use of satellite data in agricultural production.
