This analysis is valuable for identifying the potential for carbon sequestration in reforestation areas and for monitoring pastures and native forests.
2. Vegetation Health Mapping
Vegetation health is a key indicator for identifying areas affected by pests, diseases, or water stress. Using multispectral sensors, we map NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and other vegetation indices, allowing for an accurate view of the state of plants. This analysis is essential for optimizing the use of inputs in agriculture and for managing areas undergoing ecological restoration, monitoring the progress of vegetation recovery.
3. Analysis for Precision Agriculture
Precision Agriculture allows farmers to maximize their productivity by using inputs more efficiently. With our drones and sensors, we perform detailed analyses on soil variability, planting conditions and irrigation patterns, enabling localized and assertive management. These analyses help identify exactly where and how it is necessary to apply fertilizers, pesticides and water, reducing costs and environmental impacts.
4. Socio-environmental analysis
In ecological restoration and land use planning projects, socio-environmental analyses provide a comprehensive view of the impacts and interactions between ecosystems and local communities. Using geospatial data, our team maps land use and land cover, identifies preservation areas and assists in the sustainable management of areas, considering ecological and social aspects. This integrated approach is essential for projects that seek not only to recover vegetation, but also to enhance the value of the communities involved.
