Remote Sensing in Agriculture

Remote sensing in agriculture involves using satellites or drones to collect data about land, crops, and soil without physical contact. These sensors capture images and measurements that reveal information about plant health, moisture levels, pest presence, and soil conditions. Farmers and researchers analyze this data to make informed decisions, improve yields, and apply resources efficiently—such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides. By providing a broad, real-time view of large areas, remote sensing enhances sustainable farming practices and helps optimize crop management.
