Bayer Launches Satellite-Enabled Agri-Insurance 'Alivio' with United India

Imagine a new kind of insurance for farmers called Alivio, made by Bayer and United India Insurance.

It uses special satellite pictures and smart computer programs to watch over your farm, like a watchful eye.

It’s not like old insurance that just pays if everything goes wrong.

Alivio watches your specific field to see if things like not enough rain during a key time are happening.

If it sees a problem like that, it can quickly help you.

You get the help on a special phone app.

Then you can use that help to buy things like seeds or pest spray right away from Bayer stores.

This helps farmers deal with problems like dry weather and keep their crops growing, especially for things like corn and potatoes.
