From partnership to practice: advancing yield intelligence and food security through GEOMAIZE

GEOMAIZE is a groundbreaking partnership between the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute (GSSTI) and VITO, facilitated by GEOGLAM and supported by ESA EO AFRICA.

In West Africa, predicting crop yields accurately is a challenge due to smallholder field sizes and cloud cover. To support building a more resilient and food-secure future, GEOMAIZE promises to change the game by:

  • Bridging the Gap: Moving EO science from research papers to an operational yield estimation system.
  • Local Expertise meets Global Tech: Combining Ghana’s field reality with advanced AI and cloud computing.
  • Building for the Future: Building long-term capability and training the next generation of African scientists to lead agricultural monitoring.
