Geosafe: an agroclimatic characterization system for farming insurance. (L'Accademia per il post Covid-19.)

ABSTRACT

"Geosafe" is a web-based service enabling insurance agencies to access a climate data-base supporting farm insurance business. Risk indexes are elaborated on the whole national territory according to the local hazard conditions and exposure. The current agrometeorological products are developed for maize, wheat, grape and olive. For each of these crops, phenological models represent the specific weather sensitivity. Meteorological informative layers are then used to define heat stresses, low temperature and drought hazards.
