Geospatial Data platform provides access to satellite data thus assisting farmers to identify crop diseases

The Geospatial Data platform, which the UAE Space Agency has launched, will soon enable farm owners in the UAE to get a report outlining the condition of the soil in their fields. With its AI approach to accessing satellite data, the platform will make satellite imagery more accessible to a variety of researchers, startups, and R&D centres.

Last year, the International Centre for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) in the United Arab Emirates revealed the AI-powered Nabat platform, which is intended to assist farmers in identifying crop diseases. It can detect and notify farmers about over a dozen distinct crop diseases.
