Crop protection for small scale farmers
Farmers worldwide are on their own as they see extreme weather disrupt their source of income, while getting blamed for mismanagement of resources. Protecting them is in everybody’s self-interest, since the disruption of food sources on a grand scale is a threat to us all.
While the large, vertically integrated farms of industrialized nations are largely protected by insurance, smallholder farmers in emerging economies are typically not, and remain very vulnerable to crop damage.
Protecting them in a meaningful way using blockchain technology and satellite imagery, is the mission statement of IBISA, an ambitious new project emerging from a group of international, multidisciplinary experts based in Luxembourg and The Netherlands.
