Airbus satellite imagery has been successfully supporting the work of FAO since the launch of SPOT 1 in the late 1980’s. It has helped to define a national agricultural policy, managing food security, dealing with illegal agriculture, optimising irrigation and pest prevention, depending on each local specific need.

The TARBIL project requires high-resolution imagery for each of the selected agricultural crop types at every phrenological stage. This is crucial for monitoring crop status and estimating the yield. Thanks to the high spatial and temporal resolution of the Airbus Constellation, we can readily provide the TARBIL project with the essential country-wide satellite imagery it requries.
