ISAC

ISAC aims to develop and demonstrate feasibility of three generic services for providing information on agriculture and the agro-environment in Europe and Africa. The principal objective is to provide spatial information on drought risk and agricultural productivity according to various climate change scenarios. The services will make use of images from recent high frequency, high resolution (< 30m) wide swath satellite sensors. By developing these services ISAC wants to address the needs of the private insurance sector as well as the food security and emergency response sector.

ISAC is funded by the European Commission’s FP7-SPACE programme, Call 3: SPACE-2010-1 for Stimulating the development of GMES Services. The project started in January 2011 with a duration of 30 months.
