"Clients really are not interested in satellites, at all. They don’t even care about your insights or beautiful maps. They want your data to fulfil their reporting needs." Very true, but... You still need satellites & happily Copernicus EU / ESA Earth Observation provide these. NSO

New grant opportunity for topics: "Water & Health", "Water & Food", "River Basins and Deltas " by UNESCO-IHE. Satellite data and information might be indispensable.

“Feeding the world requires that we manage our water resources well. We need to break down the silos between water, food and climate” Meike van Ginneken, @MeikeVanGin Water Envoy of the Kingdom of the #Netherlands Food and Agriculture Organization Rome Water Dialogue 2023 #WaterAction



We must produce more with less to feed the future. I am proud Food and Agriculture Organization is providing innovative tools such as #WaPOR to ensure Members have access to the latest know-how & tech to support better water management & provide irrigation advice to farmers. #AgInnovation #HandinHand

NL Global Issues is proud to finance WaPOR, a groundbreaking innovative tool in water management and governance which has now gone global!🌊 Using real-time satellite data, water productivity is checked and agricultural yields are improved. #WaterAction #SDG6 👉tinyurl.com/5n8cn9wp


Vandaag spraken we op SRON Space Research NWO Nieuws met Dick Schoof en Robbert Dijkgraaf over de geavanceerde ruimte-technologie die we in 🇳🇱Nederland maken en hoe belangrijk dat is voor onze maatschappij. We spelen bijv. een sleutelrol in methaandetectie vanuit de ruimte en rontgentelescopen.
