Approach
Drought develops for months before it is declared. The early evidence is visible from space.
01 · Observe
Satellite signals
Vegetation condition, land-surface heat and rainfall, monitored across every region.
02 · Assess
Local context
Each region is measured against its own seasonal record, then weighed against the people and livelihoods exposed.
03 · Advise
Clear decisions
A risk level and recommended action for every region, every month, with an outlook for the months ahead.
Every product states how closely it tracks conditions on the ground, so you can see the gap between the index and real losses.
Outputs
One assessment, shaped to how each team works.
Delivery adapts to the people and systems using it, and grows as our method develops.

Applications
Drought shapes more decisions than drought response.
The same reading informs lending, insurance, investment and planning. As coverage moves to finer scales, it becomes more local to each decision.

Towards the farm
Every farm, read against its own surroundings.
How a farm’s season compares with the land around it, and how strongly it reacts when the rains fail, read from orbit. Two farms under the same rain do not suffer the same, and that difference is where index-based protection falls short.
Farm-level intelligence is in testing. We are looking for partners to test it against outcomes on the ground.
Coverage
