Description

🌍 GreenField

From complex space data to simple decisions. Smart water and soil management for agriculture and cities.


🛑 The Problem: Pressure on Resources

Climate change is no longer a prediction, but a daily reality.

  • Farmers struggle with drought, unpredictable floods, rising costs, and legislative pressure to reduce water waste and fertilizer pollution.
  • Local administrations face the same challenges in maintaining urban green spaces, often wasting huge budgets on inefficient irrigation.
  • The current result: Guessed decisions, wasted water, and lost crops.


💡 The GreenField Solution: Action, not just maps

GreenField is a decision assistant that eliminates uncertainty. There are no complicated charts that the user must interpret alone.

We cross satellite data with weather forecasts and provide directly: simple maps, color codes, and action alerts.

  • For Farmers: "Parcel X is too dry. Start irrigation tonight." or "Frost risk tomorrow, action required."
  • For Municipalities: "Park Y has enough water in the soil. Turn off the sprinklers today."
  • Clear benefits: We reduce operating costs, cut water waste, protect crops, and eliminate pollution from excess fertilizers.


🛰️ The Technology Engine: The Power of EU Space

GreenField turns raw data from the European space program into practical insights, accessible to anyone, without requiring expensive ground sensor networks.

Sentinel 1 Radar: Measures soil moisture and detects standing water continuously, through clouds and at night.
Sentinel 2 Optics: Monitors vegetation health via NDVI, crop development stages, and water basin quality.
Copernicus Services CEMS and Land: Provides the macro context, evaluating regional drought and flood risks.
Galileo and EGNOS: Ensures centimeter precision on the field for parcel boundaries and guiding machinery for variable rate fertilization and irrigation.


💧 Direct Impact: Our response to CASSINI Space for Water challenges

GreenField integrates space technology to manage water smartly, covering three essential pillars.

  • Equitable and efficient water access: We prevent excessive irrigation. Our recommendations lower pumping costs for farmers and directly cut the water bills for cities.
  • Pollution prevention: We identify zones with low yield but high input consumption. Through precise fertilization, we stop excess nitrogen from leaking into groundwater and rivers.
  • Disaster management: From rapid flood detection after storms using Sentinel 1, to early warnings for agricultural drought using moisture trend analysis.
