NASA Harvest API
Agriculture
NASA Harvest is a global food security program led by the University of Maryland in partnership with NASA and a global consortium of academic, government, and NGO partners. The program develops and deploys satellite-based monitoring tools and data products designed to track crop conditions, estimate production, and support food security decision-making at national and subnational scales.

Different NASA Harvest API use cases
- Food Security Early Warning in Nigeria:Nigerian government agencies, UN agencies, and humanitarian organizations can use NASA Harvest data tools to monitor crop conditions across Nigeria and generate early warnings for food security stress before shortfalls materialize.
- Nigeria Crop Area Estimation:Agricultural researchers studying Nigerian crop production can use NASA Harvest satellite-derived crop mapping to estimate cultivated area for major crops across Nigerian states without ground-level surveys.
- National Agricultural Statistics Support:Nigeria's agricultural statistics agencies can use NASA Harvest methodologies and data to improve official crop production estimates by integrating satellite-based area and yield estimates with ground survey data.
