22 views

Esri is collaborating with Microsoft on a sustainable agriculture development initiative in Africa. Together, the companies are expected to create and launch technology solutions enabling organizations in Africa to perform crop-type mapping at scale, Esri said in a statement.

Crop patterns and health can be identified, extracted, and monitored seasonally by combining Esri’s geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) capabilities, satellite imagery, as well as Microsoft’s infrastructure and AI devices, says Esri. Having data related to water, fertilizer, and seed use accessible at the right time will help enable more sustainable agricultural practices and improve crop yield forecasts.
