Agriculture & Environment

Infoterra France heavily invests in R&D and is extremely active in major national and European geo-information programmes. Our rich experience in remote sensing data and land cover analysis has helped develop many services now within your reach.

Precision Farming
Since 2001, FARMSTAR has provided farmers with a series of recommendations throughout the crucial growing season, that help to monitor their crops at the parcel level. This service is based on a unique process combining satellite imagery, agronomic models and meteorological data.

FARMSTAR is used in France by more than 10,000 farmers (about 40 000 ha), and is rapidly expanding with users in the United-Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, and more. For more information, please download our brochure.

Natural environment monitoring
In addition to Farmstar, Infoterra France proposes a wide range of geo-information products to map and monitor natural areas at different scales (local to regional).

Targeted applications include:
		Crop inventory and crop classification, key inputs for traders or regional agriculture offices;
		Monitoring and forecasting pressure on the environmental due to agricultural practices, such as crop distribution maps (e.g. irrigated crop acreage for a whole water district) to understand irrigation needs;
		Mapping and monitoring water bodies;
		Land cover and land cover change mapping for natural areas.

Field professionals:
		Water agencies;
		Water engineering companies;
		forest mappers.

LPIS / EU CAP Control
Infoterra France possesses a large capacity to process photogrammetric and satellite imagery and a long experience in acquiring aerial data. Year after year, we deliver accurate orthophotos in swift turnaround times, which is crucial for national agencies in charge of the control of EU Common Agricultural Policy area-based subsidies.

In addition to providing the French government with such services, Infoterra France works in close collaboration with Infoterra Ltd, its UK-based sister company, to build and update national orthophoto coverage and complete Land Parcel information Systems (LPIS) throughout Europe.
