Hydrosat
Hydrosat leverages the unique capabilities of thermal imagery from space to measure water stress in agriculture and enhance food security, public safety and the environment.
According to the United Nations, feeding 10 billion people sustainably by 2050 will require an increase in food production by more than 50%. However, climate change, extreme weather events, and growing competition for water resources all threaten our global food supply. Hydrosat's satellite constellation, featuring thermal, visible, and near-infrared sensors all collocated on the same platform, delivers unprecedented information and accuracy for assessing crop health. Its high temporal and spatial resolution thermal imagery provides early indicators of water stress in crops, helping to prevent food crises before they occur.
The decision to join NWP stems from the need to strengthen collaborations in the water sector.
“We are a provider of satellite data and would like to link to Dutch consultants, AgTech and IT companies active in the field of irrigation and drainage”
