Sustainable Agricultural Production

Agriculture

Use Case Description

To minimise the human impact on the Earth’s natural resources and avoid land use triggered conflicts, it is extremely important to focus on increasing agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner, from large scale agriculture to small-holders farming. Earth Observation is a powerful technique for continuously assessing the status of agricultural production on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. We will provide historical to current local to national data on cultivated areas (crop type, acreage, irrigation supply) and yield assessment.
