How can AI help detect food crises before they escalate?
@HarvestProgram, @ASU, @WashU@FEWSNET are building a GeoAI tool to spot early signs of food system instability in conflict and climate-impacted regions.

Join our Director of AI/ML @isaaccorley_ at the #CVPR2026 Image Matching Workshop on June 4, where he and co-authors examine whether pretrained image matchers can handle cross-modal satellite registration for disaster response. image-matching-workshop.githโฆ
The team plans to test the open-source tool in Sudan, Ukraine, Syria, and Haiti, where timely information on crop conditions and food assistance infrastructure can be difficult to access.

NASA Harvest is joining @ASU , @WashU, and @FEWSNET on a new GeoAI project funded through the GIFS Challenge from Taylor Geospatial.
The effort will help detect early signs of food system instability in conflict zones using satellite data and natural-language queries.
