EarthDaily Analytics Corp. (“EDA” or the “Company”), a vertically-integrated data processing and analytics company pairing cutting-edge Big Data tools with proven Space technologies, announced the launch of the Support Ukrainian Farmers Coalition (“SUFC” or the “Coalition”), a global coalition of industry, NGO, and governmental partners working together to provide direct, material support to the farmers of Ukraine.

Arising from the longstanding relationship between EDA’s agricultural subsidiary, EarthDaily Agro, and Agrilab, a leading provider of comprehensive precision farming solutions to agricultural enterprises in Ukraine, the Coalition’s initial efforts have focused on providing free-of-charge agricultural geoanalytics to Ukrainian farmers spanning over seven million acres, enabling them to optimize production in the resource-scarce environment imposed by the ongoing war.
Based upon the early success of this effort, widespread recognition of the acuteness of the economic and food security challenge developing alongside the broader humanitarian crisis, and a high level of interest from a diverse set of industry partners, international organizations, and governmental agencies operating within and around Ukraine, the Coalition is expanding significantly to facilitate additional relief efforts. Drawing upon the range of core competencies of the Coalition’s market-leading participants, these additional efforts take the form of philanthropic support for Ukrainian farmers, in-kind seed and fertilizer contributions, strategic seeding and fertilization advisory based on satellite-derived management zones (SAMZ), and a growing range of support services that can be mobilized in support of the Ukrainian farmer.
“We responded early and decisively to Russia’s invasion, fully terminating our operations in Russia and focusing on the safety and wellbeing of our Ukrainian employees and customers,” said Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily Analytics. “Now, in the face of a looming economic and food security crisis both within Ukraine and across the globe, we are utilizing our existing footprint in the region and network of regional and global agricultural industry relationships to provide material support to the farmers of Ukraine, one of the world’s most important food producers. In partnership with Agrilab, we are in a unique position to make available to the brave farmers holding their ground in Ukraine the most advanced geospatial analytics to optimize planting and yields, with the goal of making possible a 2022 Ukrainian planting and harvest season, even amidst extraordinarily challenging circumstances.”
Osborne continued, “With the formation and expansion of SUFC, we are calling on companies, NGOs, and governmental bodies around the world to leverage their own diverse resources and unique capabilities through collective action. The needs of the Ukrainian farming community are profound, wide-ranging and immediate, and their role in feeding the Ukrainian people is absolutely fundamental. By expanding the SUFC partner network to include the world’s largest and most capable companies and organizations and utilizing the established agricultural industry footprint and robust distribution and technical capabilities of our partners throughout the region, the Coalition can rapidly bring to bear the greatest possible collection of resources to meet one of the most profound crises of our time.”
