How will space transform the global food system?

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global agricultural production will need to increase by 60% by 2050 to meet the food demands of the growing global population.
A new satellite called Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment, or CHIME, is being developed to support EU policies on the management of natural resources - ultimately helping to address the global issue of food security.
CHIME will carry a unique visible to shortwave infrared spectrometer to provide routine hyperspectral observations to support new and enhanced services for sustainable agricultural and biodiversity management, as well as soil property characterisation.
CHIME is one of six Copernicus Sentinel Expansion missions that ESA is developing on behalf of the EU. The missions will expand the current capabilities of the Copernicus Space Component - the world’s biggest supplier of Earth observation data.
This video features interviews with Marco Celesti, CHIME Mission Scientist and Jens Nieke, CHIME Project Manager.

ESA all the videos are great, thanks for keeping us informed about your missions. Good luck with the CHIME mission! 💙

O espectro tão importante é cada vez mais elaborado cientificamente ...para ver ao pormenor à evolução e alteração dos sistemas!! É impressionante o que a ciência ESA pode fazer por todos nós?!

While one of the primary purposes of CHIMES is agricultural monitoring, 11 days of revisit time is a considerable interval. Also, the spatial resolution could have been matched Sentinel-2, i.e., 10 m.

Amazing i wish we had it in the orbit by next year ... new features are going to reveal alot of gems

[@photoo848]

Thank you for the down-to-earth explanation

[@IsabellaIsabella-mc1tx]

Great program congratulations wonderful!

[@ivanlarrauri2777]

Its an amazing project

[@NunoPereira.]

Will CHIME enable to get Forest Biomass, Height and Disturbances? If so it is a redundancy of the BIOMASS mission or not?
