We are founded by a group of the University of Twente Alumni offering a tremendous opportunity to understand the fundamental features required for spatial data acquisition and analytics for stakeholders in the agri-food sector to adapt food production to a changing world. The coSpectroCam sensor is a flagship example of our innovative products, acquiring hyperspectral and high-spatial data for lab and field measurements.
Mission and strategy
AgriWatch is a Dutch consultancy that develops advisory services, practical training, and capacity-building programs using Earth Observation and Geo-Information for Agriculture and Environmental Management. We cooperate with several universities (e.g., in the Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, Germany, Slovakia, Poland, Jordan, and Armenia), specialized companies, and model farmers to increase proficiency in the use of Geospatial data, tools, and services.
AgriWatch is currently leading two Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Vocational Education and Training (CB VET) projects, known as AgroTec and VETfarm. The company is also participating in two Erasmus+ Alliance for Education and Enterprises projects, one Horizon 2020 project, and several Dutch funding projects.
Sector: Education, Training, and Skills; Geospatial Technology; Sustainable Agriculture; Climate, Energy, and Environment.
Target Groups: governmental sectors, knowledge centres including VET providers and staff/students, research organizations, specialised SMEs, contractors, advisors, and farmers.
The customers: primarily the users of knowledge-based advisory on geodata/services. The content of this knowledge base is updated and maintained in interaction with a group of users.
Goal: to support decision-making by building, measuring and controlling system models tailored to the user’s needs, with image analysis being a significant component.
Objectives: to generate profit and grow in a responsible and manageable manner. AgriWatch offers consultancy services focusing on the following:
establishing local networks and exchanging good practices for the transfer of knowledge and growing a sustainable community;
the integrated use of digital technologies such as IoT, ICT, and Geospatial technology (Geo-ICT);
(timely) Remote Sensing image analysis (Satellite, drones, and specialized sensors) on a cost-effective basis;
climate change such as drought and flood;
monitoring, evaluation, and learning.
Mission: to provide useful, reliable, detailed, and up-to-date products for customers using big geodata and knowledge-based services.
Background knowledge: Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) in combination with theory and practice of expert systems/knowledge-based image analysis.
Current advise and support:
Technical assistance in building the capacity of VET providers to increase proficiency in the use of Geo-ICT data, tools, and services.
Advisory services using remote and local sensing data collected for crop conditions and stress monitoring under new climate conditions such as drought.
Tailor-made training programs, internships, capacity-building, and project management.
