Our research team has developed a variety of different data products related to agriculture using satellite data. We are very interested in collaborating with others to use these datasets to answer different questions related to sustainable food systems and sustainable development more broadly. If you are interested in collaborating and using any of these datasets for your research, please send me an email ([email protected]) with a short description of your research project.
