The agricultural company Kernel has officially become part of space technologies - it supplies NASA Harvest with data on the basis of which they improve their analytical models.
NASA Harvest is NASA's Global Food and Agriculture Consortium. The program deploys satellite observations and develops analytical tools to assess yields, crop patterns, and agricultural sustainability for use by governments, international organizations, and financial institutions.
NASA Harvest is creating a remote agricultural practices analysis system to identify crops, assess crop structure, and confirm tillage type based on satellite images
snapshots and machine learning algorithms. This information is necessary to increase the efficiency of agricultural sustainability audits, which are becoming an integral part of the culture of growing and doing business.
The work is being implemented within the framework of a joint project of the EBRD and the Food and
the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
“Kernel actively participates in shaping EU approaches and standards for sustainable production. Cooperation with NASA Harvest will increase the accuracy of data and assessments of the effectiveness of actions in environmental and climate areas. This is very important for the development of financing instruments and preparing the sector for the implementation of EU legislation requirements,” notes Marta Trofimova, Head of Sustainable Development at Kernel.
