VITO Remote Sensing: harnessing remote sensing for agriculture

Abstract

Agriculture, a pivotal sector which plays a key role in feeding the worlds growing population faces numerous challenges in terms of meeting production demands, inefficiencies in supply chain management and limitations in resources. This case study examines the situation of VITO Remote Sensing, a Belgian company that specializes in utilizing earth observation data to combat the challenges faced in agriculture. The study explores the role of VITO remote sensing in precision agriculture and potential strategies for commercialization, including the possibility of creating a spin-off. Key considerations include commercialization strategies, competitive positioning, stakeholder impact, and ethical considerations.
