In 2022, the world’s population surpassed 8 billion and is set to reach 8.5 billion by 2030. This level of population growth places increasing pressure on the environment and will inevitably increase GHG emissions. How can technology help not only monitor but also mitigate emission production?
Planet’s Dove satellites are truly transforming Earth monitoring, offering a level of detail and frequency that is unmatched in the industry. As we continue to explore the possibilities, these tiny but mighty satellites are set to revolutionize how we understand and manage our planet.

Maxar’s Legion satellites are truly in a league of their own, thanks to their jaw-dropping ultra-high resolution and incredibly frequent revisit capability. This combo makes Legion an absolute game-changer for a whole range of applications.
The cocoa industry is grappling with an unprecedented crisis as cocoa prices skyrocket, doubling since the beginning of the year, as key producing countries in Africa are hard-hit by extreme climate change events, outbreaks of disease impacting crops and financial uncertainty. How have smallholder cocoa farmers been impacted and what can be done to help them? How does the EU Deforestation Regulation factor into this, given that cocoa is listed as one of the high-risk deforestation commodities?
Swift Geospatial is thrilled to announce its participation and exhibition at the World Cocoa Conference - Paying More for a Sustainable Cocoa, set to take place in Brussels from April 21st to April 24th, 2024.
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) implementation deadline is fast approaching on 30 December 2024. Can smallholder farmers rally to meet the regulation requirements while under such time pressure, and facing other challenges such as a lack of financial resources, and technological and regulatory support?
In a world where deforestation management and climate conservation are becoming increasingly pressing, soybean production and cattle farming are being spotlighted. Regulations like the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and others are helping combat unsustainable soybean and cattle farming practices, but how are they faring as demand for these commodities rises globally?
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a crucial measure to reduce global deforestation caused by major EU-imported goods and commodities. Two of the top deforestation drivers include cocoa and coffee. Find out more about these commodities, their impact and what EUDR hopes to achieve as well as how Swift Geospatial is able to assist in the monitoring of cocoa plantations across the globe.
Because more and more people are living in cities, this means that cities are growing and changing all the time. To manage this growth, we need to monitor change detection in cities to see what’s happening and what we need to do. Change detection monitoring means comparing pictures of cities taken from satellites or planes at different times to see what has changed, like new buildings, land use changes, or changes in green areas.
