1. Crop insurers and lenders to better assess their risk portfolio;
2. Grain distributors to improve their supply chain logistics, and
3. Agricultural tech providers to enhance their precision agriculture solutions.
Ozdogan is a PhD geographer with over 15 years of experience processing remotely sensed observations for agricultural and natural resource management applications.
