Geodata for Agriculture and Water (G4AW) improves food security in developing countries by using satellite data. The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) is executing this programme, commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The G4AW programme provides solutions for smallholder farmers to improve productivity and climate resilience. Over the course of three years 23 partnerships have been granted financial support by NSO to carry out G4AW projects in countries where economies and livelihoods are highly dependent on the environment. Scaling business models requires finance. This is why we would like to call upon foreign investors, governments, development banks, insurance companies, foundations, and venture funds to address the needs and constraints of these farmers, providing access to G4AW-like services and enable scaling up service provision.
