Crop Observation, Management and Production Analysis Services System (COMPASS)
Project disclaimer
Description
The project consortium is working with CIMMYT and COLPOS in Mexico and with INTA in Argentina to help smallholder farmers growing wheat, sugar cane and maize to improve crop management. Mexican & Argentinian farmers need to improve crop productivity and stabilise their incomes to facilitate rural community economic development. The tool developed by this project will help farmers to identify factors that cause the yield gap between crop potential and actual field performance. The project provides customer-specific decision support tools to help growers, including smallholders, improve their technical, environmental and financial performance. The project will also provide commercial information support, following the trials that are underway, to advisory services, agribusiness, farmer cooperatives, crop insurers and governments to create a long-term income stream to support Rezatec’s provision of these services.
Objectives
Key aims of the project are to: • Help wheat and sugar cane farmers and smallholders improve their crop management so that their incomes and income stability is improved to support rural development • Help the wider wheat and sugar cane industry, crop insurers and government agencies access improved information so that they can help develop the industry and facilitate investment • Develop and deploy a commercial decision support tool for wheat and sugar cane farmers and the wider industry using space data to help deliver more detailed, more timely and more cost effective information to support management decision making
