🚀A Major Step for Hydrosat and Sustainable Agriculture in Latin America! 🌎 We are proud to announce new strategic partnerships with EE Print Pack,Rex Irrigacion de la Huasteca and Grupo INDERS — leading players in the Latin American agricultural and irrigation sectors — marking a significant milestone in our expansion across the region. 🤝 With these agreements, farmers will gain access to our satellite-powered IrriWatch platform, enabling them to optimize water use, increase yields, and implement more sustainable farming practices. 💧🌱 This expansion builds on our success with customers like Magdalena, Campo Para Crecer in Guatemala and Ecosuelo in Chile, where we’ve already seen transformative results in water management and productivity. We're excited to bring these advancements to even more growers across Latin America! 🚜 Check out SpaceNews article for more details: https://lnkd.in/e2AW2S7T Pieter Fossel Royce Dalby Wim Bastiaanssen Emilio Quintana Molina Brett Blom Luis Martínez Rosete Alonso Garcia

🛰️ Our first satellite VanZyl-1 is in orbit and here's how it's helping the planet: The world faces unprecedented challenges—climate change, water scarcity, and the growing demand for food. Agriculture consumes the largest share of global water resources, and optimizing water use is critical for a sustainable future. At Hydrosat, we’re turning to cutting-edge technology to address these challenges. By leveraging thermal infrared imagery from satellites, we can detect water stress in plants and enable precision irrigation, saving water and improving crop yields. 🌱 Thermal imaging offers a unique advantage: it helps us measure evapotranspiration—the water used by plants through a process influenced by complex land-plant-atmosphere interactions. This critical data allows us to monitor water consumption, forecast crop yields, and even assess drought conditions in real-time. 🌎 Hydrosat's technology delivers global, high-resolution data, providing insights where other systems fall short. Our VanZyl-1 satellite, launched earlier this year, is a game-changer in delivering continuous thermal imagery for agricultural and environmental monitoring. 📽️ Check out this video from Pieter Fossel, Hydrosat's CEO and Co-founder, explaining how our technology works and why it’s essential in today’s climate landscape.

We’re proud to contribute to this week’s NSF Engines: Southwest Sustainability Innovation Engine (SWSIE) summit in Utah! 🌎 SWSIE brings together researchers, educators, and industry partners to collaborate on innovative solutions for climate impact and long-term sustainability in the Southwest U.S. As a funded partner, Hydrosat will work with the Desert Research Institute to characterize thermal variations and open water evaporation from the region’s major lakes and reservoirs. Special thanks to our team members, Caroline Famiglietti, our Imagery Product Manager, and Joshua Fisher, our Science Lead, for representing Hydrosat and leading the charge! Together, we’re taking steps to better understand and mitigate the challenges posed by climate change 🌊🌡

We are thrilled to announce that we will be participating in the Sahara Expo as part of the Dutch Pavilion, alongside some of the most esteemed agri-tech experts from the Netherlands! This year, we’re proud to represent our valuable partner Hydrosat showcasing cutting-edge solutions and innovations in smart agriculture. Join us for a unique experience and explore the future of agri-tech! 🚜🌱 #SaharaExpo #AgriTech #DutchPavilion #Hydrosat #Tamkeen #SmartFarming #SustainableAgriculture #InnovationInAgri

🛰 Using Space to Grow More Potatoes? 🌾 Just another day at Hydrosat! Recently, our Strategic Account Manager, Sam Bastiaanssen, teamed up with Daud Muñoz from Farmfront Group to assess the performance of center pivot irrigation systems on potato, barley, and sugar beet fields near Valladolid, Spain. These systems are critical to modern agriculture, but uniform water distribution is key. Uneven application can lead to under-irrigation or over-irrigation, both of which pose significant challenges: ▪ Under-irrigation: Crops don't receive the water they need, resulting in decreased yields and potential financial losses for farmers. ▪ Over-irrigation: Excess water can lead to water runoff, nitrogen leaching, and hinder crop growth, ultimately harming the environment and increasing energy costs associated with pumping excess water. By leveraging Hydrosat's solutions, Sam and Daud were able to evaluate how evenly water was distributed across the fields. This is crucial for maximizing crop yield and reducing waste. Their findings will help boost water efficiency for Southern European farmers, contributing to a more sustainable agricultural future. Together with Farmfront Group, we're committed to driving agricultural innovation and creating a resilient future for farmers across the region!

Japie was the one who thought,"If we could use thermal imagery to better feed the people in Africa, we would have a wonderful result." - Royce Dalby, President and Co-founder of Hydrosat. In our last interview with Times LIVE, we explore the bold vision behind our founding in 2017 by Jakob (Japie) van Zyl, Pieter Fossel, and Royce Dalby: to make space-based solutions more accessible and affordable for farmers worldwide 🌎 🛰 Our VanZyl-1 satellite, based on the Themis instrument used on Mars, is a game-changer for monitoring crop health and optimizing resource use. Thanks to Japie’s insight, we can now offer this powerful technology at a fraction of the traditional cost. 💡Curious about how we’re transforming agriculture?
