21 companies will receive grants to enable them to better use satellite data

They include AIRM Consulting, a Winnipeg company that takes the data to help farmers make better decisions about crop planting and fertilizer use, and Ice Watch, an Arctic non-profit agency that uses the imagery to help Inuit make fast and accurate assessments of the safety of sea ice.
