SOLUTION
Our team built a web Geographic Information System (GIS) with strong satellite imagery processing capabilities as well as mathematical models to compute soil erosion estimations.
All of this with the aim of aiding producers in the elaboration of their soil management and crop rotation plans, and to control their execution. The aim of the program is that erosion will be reduced by 80%. Our system is used to oversee all rainfed industrial agriculture in Uruguay: over 3.7 million acres.
