Crop Development Intelligence
Follow how crops develop across regions and parcels during the season, using satellite and aerial imagery.
Agrifood Intelligence
Vink Farming
See the harvest earlier.
Vink Farming combines Earth observation, parcel information, weather and operational data to provide earlier signals on crop development, yield and regional raw-material availability.
Who it is for
Built for the organisations that plan around the harvest
- Food processors
- Cooperatives
- Procurement teams
- Supply planners
Vink Farming is positioned for processors and supply planning rather than as general farm-management software.
Use cases
Four ways to use earlier signals
Yield Forecasting
Estimate expected yield ahead of harvest by combining imagery, parcel data, weather and historical yield information.
Regional Raw-Material Intelligence
Understand how much raw material is likely to be available in a region, and when.
Supply Planning & Risk Signals
Turn crop and yield signals into earlier warnings for sourcing, production planning and risk assessment.
How it works
Signals from several data layers
Models combine the layers that a customer's crops and regions call for.
- Earth observation
- Aerial imagery
- Parcel data
- Weather
- Historical yield information
- Operational and customer data
Models are calibrated to the crops, regions and data a customer actually has.
Pilot
Test the additional signal against your current method
- 01
Select crop, region and period
Choose a crop, a region and a historical period where outcomes are known.
- 02
Forecast at several lead times
Generate forecasts at several lead times before harvest, as if run in that season.
- 03
Compare
Compare with the actual outcome, the customer's existing estimate and any available baseline.
- 04
Judge planning value
Measure whether the additional signal has meaningful planning value, and at which lead time.
