DEEP DIVE SESSION // WEDNESDAY - 15 JANUARY

Downstream Space

Agriculture & Food Security

In the face of growing global food security challenges, the agriculture sector is increasingly turning to advanced technologies to optimize productivity and sustainability. This session will explore how geospatial technology, particularly through satellite remote sensing, is revolutionizing agriculture by providing critical insights to address the sector’s specific needs. The discussion will focus on how satellite data can be transformed into actionable intelligence that empowers farmers, policymakers, and agri-businesses to enhance crop monitoring, optimize resource allocation, and mitigate risks such as droughts or pests. By integrating satellite imagery with advanced geospatial analytics, stakeholders can make data-driven decisions to ensure greater food security and agricultural resilience in the face of climate change. The session will feature panel discussions and case studies showcasing successful applications of satellite remote sensing in agriculture, from precision farming to sustainable land management practices. Attendees will gain insights into how downstream space technology is being harnessed to improve crop yields, monitor soil health, and ensure a more secure and sustainable food system.
