Short summary
We reviewed the use of satellite-based data in designing agricultural index-based insurance (IBI) products, an effective tool for managing climate risk and promoting sustainable development. Despite the increasing number of studies since 2010 to present, the review revealed a gap in applying the approach to perennial crops in developing countries. We also highlighted the growing importance of satellite data for index insurance, employing high-resolution datasets to reduce basis risk.
