027. Satellite technology leveraged to create value in agriculture

Today on the AgEmerge podcast, Zara Khan joins us as we discuss how satellite technology can be leveraged to create value in agriculture. Planet has developed the largest constellation of Earth-imaging satellites, which are capturing near-daily imagery of every field across the globe. What’s exciting about the work Zara is leading is that we are just at the beginning of unlocking the potential of this vast and unprecedented empirical dataset. Zara also shares how the technology is being used by other actors such as government and humanitarian agencies. You can also learn more about Planet by visiting their website, following them on Twitter, and watching media reporting by NBC, 60 minutes, and other news agencies.
