See water. Grow food. Save lives.

The stakes

Harvests are counted once a season.
Satellites watch every week.

By the time a failed harvest shows up in the statistics, the window to act has closed. Earth observation sees crop and water stress while there is still time to respond.

How it works

From a satellite pass to a decision on the ground.

Open Earth-observation data in, clear indicators out. Pick an instrument to see what it measures and which part of WAFEO it powers.

01

Locate

Every field, basin and region becomes a precise place on the map.

02

Measure

Each pass reads the surface in optical, radar, thermal and gravity data.

03

Score

Readings fuse into NDVI, soil moisture, drought (SPI, SPEI, VCI) and IPC food-security indicators.

04

Act

Early warnings, 90-day forecasts and reports reach farmers, policy makers and researchers.

The platform

Ten workspaces. One living picture of the land.

About

We built WAFEO on a simple belief: every farmer, water manager and ministry deserves to see what the satellites see, in time to act on it.

WAFEO joins open data from Copernicus, NASA, FAO, WFP and partners into one digital twin of water, agriculture and food systems, with a focus on Africa and coverage across every continent.
