1. Project Overview

Purpose:
EO AgriTool aims to address critical agricultural challenges by integrating data from diverse sources (satellites, UAVs, and ground sensors) and providing farmers with:

• Real-time alerts for weather extremes and crop health issues.
• Custom reports that deliver targeted insights to improve farm management.
• Interactive maps that visualize complex environmental data for on-the-ground decision-making.

Target Audience:
Egyptian farmers and agricultural stakeholders seeking to enhance sustainability, improve crop yields, and ultimately reduce their environmental footprint.

Problem Addressed:
Agriculture faces multiple adversities—including unpredictable weather, pest infestations, water scarcity, and soil degradation—that directly impact productivity and profitability. EO AgriTool confronts these issues by using data-driven insights and promoting regenerative agriculture methods to restore and maintain soil health, conserve water, and manage resources efficiently.
