Crop forecasting from space: ETH spin-off Terensis is able to forecast the #harvest yield and #climate risks such as droughts and frost with the help of satellites. This not only helps farmers to plan. Authorities and insurance companies can also predict damage more efficiently. ETH Pioneer Fellow Gregor Perich and his co-founder Lukas Valentin Graf explain the technology. #ETHspinoff #ETHstartup #entreprenuership #ETHPioneerFellowship
How can satellites help farmes reduce uncertainties, save time and intervene early in case of risks? ETH spin-off Terensis combines satellite images with plant models and hereby creates a digital twin of crops. This virtual image of reality illustrates the condition of different field crops in real time and combines the information with local weather data. This not only helps farmers to plan. With this new approach, authorities and insurance companies can also predict damage more efficiently. https://lnkd.in/gcjVfjag Text: Corinne Landolt Mentioned: Gregor Perich, Lukas Graf, Achim Walter, European Space Agency - ESA
