NIBULON and NASA Harvest, a programme of NASA, have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen global food security.
The collaboration between NASA Harvest and NIBULON combines satellite data and analytics with NIBULON’s extensive expertise in agricultural production.
"Partnering with NIBULON provides NASA Harvest with critical insights for analyzing the production of key crops in Ukraine, helping the Ukrainian government assess yields in both free and occupied territories. By using NIBULON’s field data, we refine our research, verifying and calibrating crop recognition models. The strategic location of NIBULON’s fields in Mykolaiv region, near the frontline, allows us to obtain accurate data from areas closest to occupied territories. This is extremely important, as access to data from these areas is impossible. Therefore, NIBULON’s expertise in this region is invaluable to our work," said Oleksandra Oliinyk, Strategic Partnerships Manager at NASA Harvest in Ukraine.
By combining NASA Harvest’s expertise in remote sensing with NIBULON’s agricultural production knowledge, this partnership contributes to building a more sustainable and resilient future for global food systems.
"Despite the challenges in the agricultural sector, we had the courage to rethink our approach to farming, shifting our focus to efficiency and profitability through investments. We saw tangible results in the first year under the new model: EBITDA growth from $200/ha to $800/ha, depending on the region, and a 60% increase in production compared to the previous year. We sincerely thank NASA Harvest for their support and valuable data, which have informed our management decisions," commented Oleg Veselov, NIBULON’s Director of Agricultural Production.
