Get the latest Satellite Remote Sensing news, research and developments covering the use of Earth-observation satellites to monitor crops, soil, water resources and agricultural landscapes. This tag brings together developments in satellite imagery, multispectral and radar data, crop mapping, yield forecasting and precision agriculture.
Coverage includes crop monitoring, acreage estimation, yield prediction, drought assessment, soil moisture, crop-condition monitoring, disease and pest surveillance, irrigation management and land-use mapping. Technologies such as optical imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), multispectral sensors and machine learning are increasingly being combined to provide timely information across large farming areas. In India, ISRO and the Ministry of Agriculture use satellite observations through programmes including FASAL and NADAMS, while newer NISAR data is enabling high-resolution soil-moisture monitoring.
Find news on satellite-based agriculture, Earth observation, precision farming, crop forecasting, remote sensing platforms, AI-powered image analysis and agricultural decision-support systems. Coverage also tracks the integration of satellite data with drones, ground sensors and farm-level information to improve crop assessment and resource management. Recent research is examining these combined data sources for scalable crop monitoring, yield estimation and more targeted agricultural interventions.
