Extreme weather events linked to climate change are increasingly threatening the security of food and water supply across the globe. Africa, already struggling with low agricultural production and heavily degraded soils, is disproportionally affected. To help support government and nonprofit organizations on the continent address these challenges, Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, has collaborated with Microsoft on a sustainable agriculture development initiative in Africa. Together, Esri and Microsoft will create and launch technology solutions enabling organizations in Africa to perform crop-type mapping at scale to improve agricultural management.
