Data from Planet Labs satellites and ESA Sentinel-2 mission analyzed Harvest NASAshow the distribution of spring and winter crops in the city of Ukraine.
Analysis Harvest NASA.
How did they discover it?
Spring crops, mainly corn and sunflower, are grown more in the north and west Ukraine than winter. Land occupation data obtained from the Institute for the Study of War and the American Enterprise Institute’s Critical Threat Project.
Team Harvest NASAtogether with international partners from the GEO Global Agricultural Monitoring (GEOGLAM) initiative, measure a variety of environmental factors, including rainfall, soil moisture, and temperature, to assess crop health and predict late-season yields.
“After a slow start to spring due to dry weather and a cold snap, growing conditions were mostly favorable and the crop recovered very well,” Becker-Reschef said in a statement about soil crops.
Before the war Ukraine accounted for 46% of world exports of sunflower oil, 9% of wheat, 17% of barley and 12% of corn in world markets, according to the USDA. (Ukraine D Russia together they accounted for 73% of exports of sunflower oil, 33% of wheat and 27% of barley). The last few months have interrupted this flow of food.
“We are in the early stages of an ongoing food crisis that is likely to affect every country and person on earth in one way or another,” Becker-Reshef said. For some populations, this may mean higher prices or loss of groceries at the grocery store. For others, history suggests it could mean more severe food shortages. (EuropePress)
