Why Satellite? The whole field in one shot

11

Satellite data used to be... But today it is…

Very expensive: Government budgets

Low resolution: Wide area study

Low frequency: Revisit twice a month

Visual spectrum: Nice images for the wall…

Almost Free Data: Data is becoming more accessible

High resolution: Suitable for intra-field variability detection

High frequency: Revisit every 5 days and soon every day

Multi-spectral: Data allows for advanced agronomy modeling

Why Hyper Local Weather

12

Because weather, specifically precipitation is very local. And you care only for YOUR field, not the entire village

Standard Solutions Manna’s Service

• Government provided service: Resolution of 10-25 KM

• Weather station: No forecast, and requires maintenance
