Eye in the sky: Agri satellites above Ukraine poised to avert crop disruptions and supply shortages
20 Jan 2023 --- A satellite platform operating in the skies above Ukraine, currently monitoring the country’s crucial crop outputs during wartime, is set to expand.

NASA Harvest and Planet Labs, in partnership with the University of Maryland in the US and the University of Strasbourg in France, have been using satellite imaging to analyze crops from above, tracking their day-to-day changes.
