EarthDaily Analytics is a company based on broad area change detection. In regards to agriculture, it is able to identify individual farm boundaries, distinguish crops, monitor crop health, inputs and yield—at farm level, regionally and even at a global view.

This powerful dataset arms the entire agricultural ecosystem with the information they need to make informed decisions. Don recognises that having so much information can almost be overwhelming, so having the right inputs in crucial. "AI Machine Learning can provide all sorts of information for key stakeholders in the industry, whether crop input providers, crop insurers or financiers. The biggest stumbling block to achieving this [quality] output of information was the input."

In this exclusive interview, Don details how he tackled the problem of poor input data by establishing a satellite system, and how the gathered data empowers stakeholders along the entire value chain.
