How Satellite Data Is Changing Agriculture Insurance

Climate change is transforming how agriculture insurance companies approach risk. New tools and strategies are needed to effectively prepare for and respond to a range of perils, especially drought.

With near-daily satellite data, insurers are able to scale and automate agricultural monitoring across vast areas and timescales.

In this webinar, industry experts from Schweizer Hagel, Swiss Re, AXA Climate, Agroinsurance International share how they are working with Planet to:

• Improve forecasting and underwriting processes with satellite imagery and derived data products
  
  
• Increase loss adjustment efficiency and accuracy with pre- and post-event comparisons
  
  
• Support research and development with cross validation of weather index-based products

FAQs

What’s the theme of the event?
The focus of this innovation sprint is climate resiliency – more specifically, what satellite and remote sensing data can do in support of climate resiliency. As the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions puts it, “Climate resilience is the ability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to hazardous events, trends, or disturbances related to climate. Improving climate resilience involves assessing how climate change will create new, or alter current, climate-related risks, and taking steps to better cope with these risks.”

Who should participate?
Everyone from imagery and geospatial analysts to program managers, scientists, and those without any technical expertise - in short, no experience is necessary and all are welcome! Planeteers will provide support throughout the challenge to help participants decide on a topic, get access to the data they need, and understand how they can use it.
