Establishing a Remote-sensing Agricultural Assessments for Policy Impact and Decision-making (RAAPID) center within NASA Harvest, which will utilize satellite data, AI/ML, and cloud computing to provide timely agricultural assessments during food system shocks, aiming to enhance food security and market stability globally.

The initiative aims to significantly increase capacity to respond to assessment requests, lay the foundation for an international center, and ultimately improving the resilience of vulnerable populations to food system disruptions.
