Planet and Leaf Partner to Provide Agricultural Insights For Developers
19 May 2022 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and
insights about Earth, today announced that their PlanetScope data
is now available through Leaf, an agricultural data infrastructure
company. Through Leaf’s imagery service, developers can access
Planet’s satellite imagery to better inform their agricultural
products.
Leaf’s unified farm data API helps streamline farm data
integrations into a standardized format. With Leaf, software
developers build useful products for the agricultural industry,
including farm optimization tools, carbon markets and
sustainability tracking, outcome-based financing, agronomic
recommendations, and traceability applications. Now, with the
integration of Planet’s data, Leaf customers can easily access
daily satellite images of agricultural land.
“Agriculture is going through a digital revolution, and it’s
companies like Leaf that are helping to propel this transition. I’m
excited to have our daily data available through Leaf, where
developers can pull the latest insights from Planet’s products into
new models and toolkits for the industry,” said Jim Thomason,
Planet’s VP of Imagery Products.
Planet owns and operates the largest fleet of Earth observation
satellites in history, with approximately 200 satellites currently
in orbit. The company collects an image of every land-based
location on Earth every single day, generating an unprecedented
dataset. These datasets are often leveraged by agricultural
companies to analyze crop yields, predict harvest times, and lend
insights into sustainable farming practices.
Leaf customers can now access the company's PlanetScope data,
dating back to 2015, which provides daily images of each location
at approximately 3 meter resolution. This historical archive is
automatically integrated into Leaf’s infrastructure, enabling users
to gain unique information regarding agricultural trends over time,
like environmental and seasonal change or documentation of
regenerative practices. New daily images are then also populated
each day, giving near real-time insights into the health and
productivity of agricultural fields.
“Our goal is to empower developers to build a food and
agricultural system that benefits our health, environment, and
agricultural economy. We are thrilled to now offer Planet’s data
via our API as their PlanetScope daily imaging product could allow
for better monitoring of sustainable projects and reveal changing
seasonal trends for farmers and agronomists,” said Leaf CEO and
co-founder Bailey Stockdale.
To access the Planet data, users can use an existing Planet
account or subscribe to Planet imagery directly with Leaf. Leaf
provides Planet imagery to developers in an analysis-ready format
by processing the data and cropping and color correcting RGB and
NDVI images of requested agricultural fields. Leaf’s single API is
also compatible with Sentinel-2 and Landsat, enabling developers to
have multiple Earth observation data streams when building their
products.
