Leveraging AI and GIS for Smarter Agriculture

The Fresh Produce Data & Market Forecasting Summit in Sandton (17–18 March) brings together agricultural leaders, analysts, and technology specialists to explore how data is shaping the future of fresh produce markets. At the conference, Swift Geospatial’s GIS Sales Executive, Kayleigh Weir, will present “Leveraging AI and GIS for Resilient, Data-Driven Insights,” demonstrating how spatial analysis and artificial intelligence help agricultural organisations understand production patterns, anticipate risks, and make smarter decisions across the agricultural value chain.

Remote sensing and ethical, sustainable sourcing

Three of humanity's main additions - namely coffee, cocoa and palm oil- are actively contributing towards deforestation. As rainforests are rapidly being illegally logged to make way for these monocrops; we might go so far as to say they are literally costing us the earth. With a global population of 7.9 billion, it's a reality that a vast world-wide majority of our engines are addicted to coffee and chocolate as fuel (let’s not forget the palm oil in that packet of mass-produced cookies). We therefore need to put deforestation to an end, and fast. Read on for what satellite monitoring can do to ensure ethical, sustainable sourcing.

The Superhero of Geospatial Technology: Remote Sensing

Swift Geospatial is powered by incredible technology. To some it may seem supernatural at times; and with constant advancements each year we are only starting to appreciate the wonderful benefits of remote sensing. But just what is remote sensing? It is commonly described as the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance. Our latest blog article delves into further detail to explain just what it is that we do at Swift Geospatial.
