RIICE
Remote-sensing based Information and Insurance in Emerging Economies (RIICE)
Small-holder farmers in Southeast Asian countries and India can get settled more quickly after the unfortunate crop loss caused by extreme weather conditions like floods, typhoons and droughts. Thanks to a support of Remote-sensing based Information and Insurance in Emerging Economies (RIICE) project. When harvest fails or natural disasters hit, with a crop insurance integrated with the space technology information, farmers receive their payouts and relief supports in more transparent and timely manners. Governments also better plan to handle crisis through the space data.
