Index-Based Weather Risk Management Programs as applied in Agricultural Insurance
•https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qO56USu9p_dn8GkaoneCjx-ujwgaQiq2/view?usp=drivesdk&usp=embed_facebookResearcher
“Farmers in East African countries like Kenya rely on index-based agricultural insurance to protect them against losses from crop damage caused either by extreme weather or other threats... Increasingly, index-based insurance programs are employing satellite Earth observations as a reliable source of weather and climate information that can be used to further develop and scale these programs. The data include vegetation conditions, soil moisture and rainfall estimates. This can help insurance companies easily detect and verify where and when financial payouts might be needed."
