Use Case Description
As the climate continues to change, seasonal redistribution of rainfall and rising temperatures will put increasingly direct pressure on food production. Agriculture and pastoralism are at the frontline of the impact of climate change. They are the basis of food security in developing countries and deviations from nominal weather patterns and the impacts of such deviations have to the environment can threaten human life.
In response to recognised challenges associated with land degradation and ecosystem health due to non-resilient agriculture practices, EO data are key for assessing the problems and exposure to future risks for ecosystems and agricultural land by identifying health condition and informing on prioritise sites for restoration opportunities.
