How Galileo is Advancing NASA Harvest’s Mission to Safeguard Our Planet

AI2 and NASA Harvest are proud to announce Galileo, a powerful new remote sensing mapping tool developed with our partners to analyze many types of satellite data at once. Galileo helps us better monitor farms, floods, and more, giving a clearer picture of Earth’s changes.

Launch of Updated Harvest2Market Agricultural Supply Chains Monitoring Tool

NASA Harvest has launched our updated Harvest2Market tool, designed to monitor agricultural supply chains and link global food production to markets. Powered by satellite data and advanced models, the platform tracks crops, trade flows, and risks, providing insights to strengthen food security, resilience, and decision-making worldwide.

Why Ukraine’s 2025 Harvest Matters and How NASA Harvest is Measuring It from Space

NASA Harvest is tracking Ukraine’s 2025 grain harvest from space to provide accurate estimates amid conflict‑driven data gaps. Using satellite imagery and modeling, the effort assesses planted area, yield and harvest status in free and occupied areas, offering vital insight for food security and global markets

Detecting Flood Damage to Agricultural Land in Texas Hill Country

Severe flooding in Texas Hill Country claimed lives and damaged property across the region. In response, NASA Harvest and NASA Acres teamed up to use satellite radar and optical imagery combined with cropland data to map agricultural impacts. This analysis revealed the scale of disruption to farmland, providing timely insights to guide recovery efforts and strengthen resilience for farming communities facing future extreme weather.
