Biomass Production Estimation provides a quantitative view of crop and ecosystem productivity, modeling growth rates and biomass accumulation across multiple scales.
By integrating satellite vegetation indices with meteorological drivers, this product enables yield forecasting, national reporting, and farm-level insights — helping insurers and policymakers understand production risk and potential payouts before harvest.
Why it matters #
- Biomass is the foundation for yield forecasting and food security monitoring.
- Policymakers and insurers need objective production indicators to design policies and payouts.
- Without standardized biomass data, comparisons across regions or years remain inconsistent.
Key features #
Integrated modeling — Combines vegetation indices with meteo drivers (radiation, temperature, VPD).
Production metrics — DMP / GPP / NPP-style outputs for monitoring growth and accumulation.
Multi-scale outputs — Aggregate to parcels, grids, or national reporting layers.
Delivery formats — NetCDF (integer) and parcel statistics for downstream analytics.
How it works #
- Ingest vegetation indices (Sentinel-2/3, MODIS, Proba-V)
- Combine with meteorological drivers (radiation, temperature, VPD)
- Compute biomass production metrics (DMP / GPP / NPP)
- Aggregate to parcels, grids, or regions; publish to data store
Who benefits #
- Policymakers & agencies — National reporting and ecosystem monitoring
- Insurers — Understand production risk and potential payouts pre-harvest
- Platforms & partners — Easy integration into existing data pipelines
