Crop Alerts, Forecasting, Planning, and Scenario Analysis

A business interruption scenario development and simulation tool for near-term and long-range planning.

The audience

Specialty crop producers, trade associations, retail buyers, and agricultural officials.

The problem

Over the past five years, there have been innumerable disasters affecting specialty crop producers in the U.S., including:

  • Weather-related losses in the California cherry industry
  • The Pajaro River levee breach and Tulare Lake inundation
  • Recurring drought, freeze, and wildfires
  • And, most recently, a critical short-term supply shortage in melons from the Arizona-California desert producing regions

The idea

A business interruption scenario development and simulation tool.

How it works

Using widely-available data about land, water, infrastructure, and weather, we can develop scenarios to assist with near-term and long-range planning at an industry, region, company, or even divisional level.
