Remote sensing and agriculture
In the field, a farmer cannot get a complete overview of the fields and cannot make the informed decisions required to maximise crop production and quality. This is where the use of earth observation technology becomes an excellent resource for the grower. (Geoconnexion international magazine, March 2014 )
Satellites have already been in use for several years, and drones are currently undergoing trials. But how do farmers feel about being watched from above?. (BBC NEWS, 8 Febbraio 2014)
An accurate cropland data set will help provide a better accounting of water use, cropland productivity, and water productivity — all critical information for studying global food security. (NASA News, 29 Gennaio 2014)
Satellite missions
Il satellite ESA Sentinel-1A, lanciato il 3 aprile 2014, ha già acquisito la prime immagini radar. Guarda la prima scena acquisita su Bruxelles, Belgio (ESA-Space in images, 16 Aprile 2014
