Users in managed living resources refer to human activities exploiting natural organic resources. Knowledge and information products to forge a viable strategy for the user’s operations such as the assessment of the status of the resource due to natural or human activities for effective commercial exploitation and conservation. This includes agriculture, fishing and forestry sectors.Market Sector | Composition | Needs | EO Services |
|---|
| Agricultural commodities/trading,
agricultural production / horticulture,
agricultural services,
agriculture machinery,
agriculture and rural development policy,
agri chemicals / plants & fertilizers,
animal production / livestock/ stock traders on commodity price like wheat, coffee. The EO/GI users also include agriculture and rural policy makers and insurers. | - forecast production yield and monitor variability in crop development;
- support usual farm management / operations providing highly accurate customized consultation to any farmer and for any kind of crop, from the smallest to the largest scale;
- calculate the correct amount (savings) of fertiliser, water or pesticides;
- more informed decision-making on crop type and land use, savings on seed through optimising seed density during planting (vegetation- Index Crop-Insurance);
- implement a crop production index to build an insurance product;
- evaluate farm solvency & trade on commodities stock exchange;
- monitor farming deforestation impact and delineate field boundaries;
- assess losses based on actual damage extent in the field overall monitor several stages in the value chain to make better-informed decisions in planning, planting and growing the new crops;
| Assess environmental impact of farming Assess crop damage due to storms Monitor crop disease and stress Assess crop acreage and yield harvest Monitor specific crop types Forecast crop yields Monitor water use on crops and horticulture Detect illegal or undesired crops Measure land use statistics |
Forestry | Forest management,
forest Services,
commodities,
logging industry,
wood, paper and pulp industry,
forest policy,
forest machinery,
forest policy makers. | - improve fisheries economic activity boosting their income, making the fishing experience easier, safer, and more sustainable, assessing fish shoals, catch optimisation & understanding the impact, overfishing, livestock monitoring/management, etc;
- detect patterns of illegal behaviour at sea (illegal fishing, narco-traffic, immigration, maritime pollution, piracy);
| Assess deforestation / forest degradation Assess environmental impact of forestry Assess forest damage due to storms or insects Assess changes in the carbon balance Detect and monitor wildfires Assess forest types Monitor forest resources Detect illegal forest activities |
Fisheries | Fish stock management,
fishing fleets,
fishery distribution logistics,
aquaculture / fish farms,
coastal management agencies,
fisheries authorities / policy makers. | - establish historical forest area changes and implement forest monitoring solutions;
- verify the impact of and compliance with no-deforestation policies and transform the industry towards sustainable practices (sustainable management of forest);
- set-up reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+ national strategy and support final users in obtaining certificates and carbon credits) (REDD+ MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification));
- perform cost-effective and accurate forest inventory, at national or local scales;
- conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks, baseline mapping and stock change;
- damage assessment;
| Map water depth / charting Forecast and map large waves Map fish shoals Detect and monitor illegal fishing Forecast and monitor current movement and drift Detect and monitor oil slicks Detect and monitor oil slicks Monitor pollution at sea |
