Max Polyakov's EOS Data Analytics and Agroxchange will provide satellite crop monitoring in Nigeria for small-scale farmers. The move is a step towards integrating satellite monitoring precision for food production.
Farmers in Nigeria to Benefit from Satellite Monitoring From Max Polyakov's EOS Data Analytics
Small-scale Nigerian farmers are on track to improve food production. This is due to a partnership between Max Polyakov's EOS Data Analytics and AgroXchange.
The two companies will provide satellite monitoring of the field for better food production. They will use precision technology that bases decision making on data from the monitoring. If the project is a success, the African country could increase food production by 30%.
Space Monitoring and Its Impact on Agriculture
Many factors determine food production. Such include vegetation health and field conditions.
Others are development and moisture levels in the soil. Farmers need access to such information wherever they are.
Satellite monitoring can provide such information even from the comfort of their offices.
The Farmers can then use the information to make appropriate decisions on best practices. Eventually, they will save on cost due to easy access to relevant analytics.
What the CEO's Have to Say
Max Polyakov is the founder of EOS Data Analytics. He is optimistic about the partnership's ability to transform the Nigerian agriculture sector. The findings will not be restricted to that country alone.
Indeed, the whole of Africa could very well be on the right path to better food security. When farmers can practice sustainable farming, they will increase their yields. Further, they can benefit from support strategies that can lead to better business growth.
Max Polyakov is confident about the benefits the partnership will have - EOS Data analytics Provides satellite imagery analysis using AI-powered technology. The company has a worldwide footprint with scientific organizations, commercial enterprises, and governmentsin its client portfolio.
Data Analytics gives information for timely intervention for sustainable practices. There is a lot of potential for the agricultural sector in Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa. Investing in crop monitoring is a sound business decision.
The Farmers benefit from sustainable farming and relevant support for any strategies they have for business growth. When a country can access affordable satellite technology, it goes a step further in ensuring food security.
AgroXchange CEO AdewalweAdegoke Is just as optimistic as Max. His company is a digital platform that uses smart devices and the internet for data collection. He uses the same for the dissemination of information in real-time.
Farmers get access to credit, inputs, and markets, resulting in cost savings for them. The CEO opines that the Covid-19 pandemic brought to the fore the importance of food security. Climate change is also a significant factor.Farmers need to incorporate sustainable farming practices and grow climate-resistant foods. The smallholder farmers have a critical role in improving food security while strengthening their livelihoods. The use of data from satellite monitoring is, therefore, a critical step in the right direction.
Conclusion
Max Polyakov is enhancing the role of satellite monitoring to ensure food security. Partnerships with companies like AgroXchange are critical for food security in Africa.
