Agriculture matters to all of us. It puts food on our table and provides livelihoods for billions of people.
What is the role of space-based technologies for agriculture?
Satellite data is relevant in many ways. Satellites can assess rainfall and help farmers and food manufacturers plan more precisely. They can support agricultural policy makers in anticipating droughts and consequent food shortages. And satellites can tell small farmers where the closest markets are located.
